Hi Al,
your right on that point: Old windows habits but it's not a driver.
I meant "firmware". My bad. In my case, I had some serious headaches
because of the firmware for my M-Audio Oxygen8 --> didn't worked
immediately after I plugged it in.
No firmware, no oxygen8.

I would. Of course this problem isn't caused by the hardware itself but
its a hardware issue to me when I can only use "basic functionality" because
there is no software available to do this kind of job. I had the same
problem
with a Wacom Graphire tablet. No expresskeys, only the basic functions.
Some people can live with that but I don't.

Just as my terratec. By contrast. a friend of mine is close to throw his
computer out the
window since his soundblaster something doesn't want to record anything.
I don't say that you'll experience constant hardware problems, but that
for a less experienced user it could get dissappointing under certain
circumstances.

That is correct for MIDI devices since it is a very old standard. If you
plug them
in via USB it doesn't have to be that easy --> like my Oxygen 8 or a
friend who
uses the E-MU 0404 USB. No chance.
Best regards,
Sebastian.
