> John was talking about USB in his first sentence. I think you can skip
the parallel and serial port equipment that hasn't had working drivers for
the past fifteen years on anything beyond Windows 2000.

I was using the serial Unitor8 on Windows XP over the USB/RS232 adapter
with no issues, and with no problems related to drivers. Had to get two USB
adapters though, since the first one didn't work. So I admit, it's kinda
adventurous path.

However, Unitor8 MKII and all variations of AMT are USB-based. Currently I
have all those three devices connected to Windows XP and I don't experience
any problems.

> MOTU multi interfaces are pretty expensive, over a grand for new and at
least half that used.

http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MidiExp128/ - not cheap, but still
way below a grand.

Still, E-mu Xmidi 2x2 seems a great and inexpensive alternative to the
cheap cable.
