This is what I had thought would be the easiest way around the problem, make
it a configurable value, in the registry or an INI file for WinDoze.  It
makes the most sense.  This way, regardless of whether you "own" the ID or
not, it could be configured into the software either by the driver install
process or by manipulation of the registry key (assuming WinBlows).

I remember a thread about this USB-MIDI thing before and I believe someone
stated that USB isn't really the best way to go in the first place, something
about overhead and latency?  

I would think that EPP would be better.  Personally, I prefer a bus card for
MIDI.  I have a USB dual port MIDI interface, but it's mainly for my laptop
and for a secondary set of ports should I need more than the two that my bus
card has.

Anyone care to comment on what the differences between the 3 methods (bus
card, EPP and USB) might be?  What is the best?
