"just work" should be an advertising trademark :)
In the WK-6600 manual they say that the first time you connect the keyboard to a windows computer the software drivers will "automatically load". They didn't add "and just work" :)
But, really, these days a lot of this stuff is getting pretty easy to connect/run. I can't say I'll miss my MIDI cable adventures ... esp. when I plug input to output, etc and stand there like an idiot wondering why things don't "just work"!

indicate that this expectation is not always delivered in practice.
Granted, the potential for hub trouble with sound cards is definitely
higher than with MIDI connections.
