That's strange - I am using my Unitor8s on XP, and recently got an
AMT8 to use it as a spare (or gig one). I cannot say I haven't had any
issues though, as installing multiple cascaded Unitors on Windows can
be a pain in the $a in certain situations (works OK on Mac though, but
you need at least one USB enabled, since Mac OS X doesn't support
connecting Unitors thru serial port), but given enough patience it's
doable, and once done, continues to work. You will probably need the
latest drivers (2.27).

MT4 can be a different beast tho: according to SoS "Unlike the same
company's AMT8 (reviewed in SOS January 2000), the MT4 doesn't feature
Emagic's Active MIDI Transmission (which can improve MIDI timing when
used with compatible software), so its timing resolution will be
limited by the resolution of the USB port to which it is connected.",
so its drivers can be different, thus not supported on 98+ versions of
Windows.
