Hi Stan, Thanks for re-reply... & information. I will check out the leads. One note; MiaMIDI is a PCI card, not a USB. I tried some USB audio/midi devices & couldn't get them to work with my setup in Windows XP, the MM card works well & is fairly flexible & hi res for an inexpensive audio/midi i/o... especially my Yamaha 01v mixer. I may be back, one way or th'other. I.e.; :) or :( . :) Henry stan wrote: > Henry W.
