The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

If your system is not on the list for Win2k compliance, you may lose most of your sound card and other drivers.

I would suggest that you check with your hardware vendors to see if they support the win2k OS.

Many systems will die with Win2k unless they are more corporate systems.  I have an HP pavilion and Compaq Presario laptop.
I will not upgrade to Win2k on either.

I have been in the IT industry for about 18 years.
Just a warning.

  So, in other words, you're willing to trade the devil you know for the 
  one you don't? ;-)

  I can't answer your Win2K vs. WinME vs. Win98 questions but, IMO, I'd 
  stick with what works TODAY and let the other play guinea pig. There 
  will be ample time to play catch up later on - once the bugs are worked 
  out. Vendors such as Yamaha are in this for the long haul - they'll 
  offer a working solution sooner or later.

  If you review the text which accompanies that Win2K driver you'll 
  notice that it refers to the same conditions under which the NT driver 
  is posted: It's beta and the won't support it (or take responsibility 
  for its performance) until it's certified. I'm uncertain why but this 
  appears to be the trend for public beta programs and  many of the 
  Soundcard vendors exercise the same policy.

  Gary, if you see this email...do you know what's the reasoning behind 
  this practice - is it just CYA? I know Echo had this policy for 
  many, many months while their latest Mac drives were in public beta - 
  up until Feb. in fact. Okay, granted the driver has been working fine 
  with my Gina...

  However if the above is not possible ,how dose it perform under Win ME.

  Sorry I can't be of more help. I'm a Mac user anyway :-)
