Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

I'm having trouble with the USB drivers and Windows XP. I have tried all
the suggestion in the read me files and the device is not being
recognized. 

>>>Have you tried going to the Windows Hardware manager and installing the 
drivers manually? <<<

Also what do you recommend starting out with for a midi card? 

>>>I like the M-Audio MIDIsport series, though those are USB devices and 
not cards (getting harder to find PCI midi devices).  Never had any issues 
with my 4x4 or my girl's 2x2. <<<

Is it better to use the Midi card and what is up with the USB 
functionality? 

>>>Depends, the midi is slower than USB, but it will still do the same 
thing.  The USB only adds speed to the picture while using E-Loader.  Oh, 
and you still HAVE to use MIDI to update the OS, USB doesn't work yet for 
that.  <<<

Will it get better with the new O.S.? 

>>>Probably not, the functionality is already part of the XX-7's, it's a 
new version or E-Loader that's needed to add more features.  I for one 
would LOVE to be able to use E-Loader to back up patches and Multi's too. 
I know the Mac guys have been waiting patiently forever for USb drivers 
that work too.  How about it Emu, is there a new version of E-Loader 
coming too? <<<
