The MIDEX8 doesn't support serial ports.
Ill have to warn everyone about the MIDEX8. It's not even a
MIDI-interface in my eyes.

The general problem with the MIDEX8 is it's way of handling (um...not
handling) SYSEX. Their new drivers doesn't solve these problems.

I had several other problems with the MIDEX8 though, which made it
impossible to even use it as an MIDI-interface.

I'm going to return this piece of crap and get a new one.

Any suggestions??

Does anyone have any experienc with the M-AUDIO MIDISPOR 8X8?

Thanks in advance
