Hi Tim. I may as well reply, as everone is pushing useable keyboards. Mine is 
Evolution MK-225C, and works just fine, apart from the same problems that 
Lars had with getting snd-usb-audio to load as the second card.

Incidentally: FC1, FC2 needed the alias's and options setting to load the 
cards in the correct order. FC3 seems to have got over the problem, and set 
them up correctly. Debian Sarge, I had to put the alias's and options 
in /etc/modutils then run update-modules. Gentoo's genkernel didn't have 
snd-usb-audio enabled in the kernel, so had to compile another kernel, and 
enable it, along with adding realtime at the same time. Slackware 10.0 with 
Audioslack's mm kernel I think set it up correctly without my interference.

I've also got a Zoom Rhythmtrak RT323 Drum machine. I havn't been able to try 
this, as I left the backplate with the midi connection for the Audigy2 
soundblaster in England. Does anyone know if this works ok? Also is there 
something I could use to convert the midi out from the drum machine to USB 
in?

I think keyboards are in the lead on this poll at the moment. Nigel.
