Fernando,
   I have a machine that I have been using for Pro Tools work for the last
1.5 years. It has a MidiSport 2X2 on it that has worked fine under Windows.
As I move away from the Pro Tools environment over the next 6-12 months, I
had wanted this machine to be dual boot, so I brought it up that way using
System Commander 7. This is the machine that has the boot ordering problem
we've been discussing over the last week.

   In the last two days I have done two new things to this machine. One or
both of them has caused the MidiSport to stop working. It is no longer
visible at all within Windows.

1) I do alpha/beta testing for a major audio software company. They have
given us new Ilok copy protection software. My version is not USB based, but
some of them are. Possibly installing this new protection software has
stopped the MidiSport from operating. (Not likely, but a possibility.)

2) I attempted to get the MidiSport 2X2 working as per the instructions on
the Planet. I am a bit concerned about the language on the web site and what
this software really did.

"The Midisport interfaces do nothing until some firmware is loaded into
them. As shipped they connect to the USB subsystem but they do not have
anything MIDI related in them, as listed by lsusb. There is GPL firmware
available for the Midisport interfaces in the Linux Hotplug Project
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-hotplug/> (this used to be hosted at
this page <http://member.nifty.ne.jp/Breeze/softwares/unix/usbmidi-e.html>)
that we will use to make them functional under Linux. We are not going to
use the oss raw driver that is included in the ezusbmidi package, just the
firmware images that are part of it. "

   I am curious what you really meant by 'the interfaces do nothing'  and
what firmware was loaded? Is it possible that the installation process from
the Planet changed the hardware configuration of the MidiSport in such a way
as to make it useless to Windows?

   Following the attempt to get things going in Linux I booted into Windows.
Windows then said it had found new hardware and was installing software for
the MidiSport. Remember, this wasn't new hardware from a Windows
perspective. It had been there for a year doing it's job correctly. It only
seemed to become new hardware after attempting the flow in the Planet site.

   I'm very interested in your thoughts about what this process has possibly
done, and whether you think there is some reason that the MidiSport cannot
be used in this dual-boot configuration. All my other hardware has no
problems with this. I hope the MidiSport doesn't.

With best regards,
Mark
