[sdiy] USB and the art of MIDI

Y-ellow Humans.
         I'm wondering if anyone here has tried those little, Cheap, 
Chinese USB to MIDI adaptors? More specifically, has anyone tried using 2 
or more out of a hub at the same time?

Even more specifically, I'm wondering if it might be possible to make an 
ad-hock, expandable, multi-MIDI interface with say 10 or more I/Os. I'm not 
worried about the electrical limitations. IE: Power consumption and so 
fourth. I can take care of that with suitable hacks. All I'm interested in 
is if the computer would see multiple individual MIDI interfaces or get 
thoroughly confused and see them all as just one single MIDI interface. Or 
something in between?

Anyway, If there's anyone out there who has experience with these things 
I'd appreciate at word from the wise.

And just out of interest, the "CYBERMIX" has arrived. Now I just need the 
time to plug it in and see if it works.

Thanks in advance.
Be absolutely Icebox.
