Thanks guys for the quick response. A few questions:

1) Was yours "plug and play" or did you have to install a driver ? I've read a few reviews where people had trouble getting the driver to install and work.

2) I assume the power is derived off the USB connection to the host PC. I've heard of some MIDI devices that don't get enough power from the host this way (although there is a workaround using a powered USB hub). I have a Dell Windows laptop a few years old. Do you all think there is a problem running it with my laptop ?

3) I got a cable several years ago that looks almost identical (never used it), but I can't find the driver. Unfortunately mine has NO identification on it of the maker- it just says "USB MIDI" on it. Do you have any idea where I might find a driver for it that might work with Windows 10 ? Judging from several different similar appearing versions from different vendors I'm wondering if the guts are a common design and a generic driver might work.

I think for $15.99 I'll take a chance on that one first...

Best, and again thanks for responding,
Bob
