Troubleshooting Computer & MIDI Problems
By Geoff Ward

This is a question for Bill Klinger who wrote in 111031 MMDigest:

Bill, I have two of the Chinese USB-to-MIDI interface cables with
the treble clef sign on them and I agree with you that they seem
to be of reliable quality.  They come with built in drivers for
Windows XP.  Do you or any other MMDer know whether they will work
under 32 bit and/or 64 bit Windows 7?

I have posted this as others might be interested in the answer.
These devices are very cheap -- $5.60 including postage from China
was the most recent price I paid!  How do they do it?

Kind regards,
Geoff Ward
