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

I guess I'm beginning to think my XL-7 has a bunk USB interface.

I don't get yellow X's on the two unknown devices...I get 1 device, 
labelled "unknown device", listed under "USB controllers", updating 
the driver always results in windows complaining that the driver 
selected (...USB0.inf) is not compatable with the device.  I have the 
two USB0 & 1 inf files, along with the actual .sys driver.

What type of device is the XL-7 supposed to be? (have the unknown's 
shown up under "sound, video, and game controllers"? 

thanks for the time...
