Shucks,

After pulling up the Delcom foot controllers and checking them out more closely (they seemed as if they were the appropriate foot controller for my situation), I noticed that they all require a 32 bit environment, but I have Win 7 Premium on my machine which, of course, is a 64 bit system. Seems as if I had another device a while back that I had a similar problem with (might have been my M-Audio Ultra sound card) but, if I recall correctly, I downloaded a driver which fixed the situation (i.e., it permitted the 32 bit specific device to work just fine in a 64 bit environment). However, I'm thinking this is probably an incorrect recall because we all know the Coyote DXi has to be used in place of the VSC DXi because the latter is a 32 bit thingy.

I'm saying all this in hopes someone might have a definitive "voice of experience" to straighten me out so I can decide if I need to start looking elsewhere for a foot controller,
