RE: [SoundDiver] Re:AMT on XP issue (Unitor Control / Virus Control)

Yes, I agree on the Midi din point you make.

So, to further clarify I am talking about the cable between the AMT8 and my computer. A DB9 Straight cable.

Now, someone pointed me to the manual, and for the DB9 conneciton on page 71 or 72 (cant remember now) I am having a friend do up a cable for me. I still kind of find it surprising that a straight cable is not the correct configuraiton. However, the manual must be right. 

But, in the meantime I have decided to use USB which I have also used in the past with this unit. It has installed ok, but still no sucsess. I am trying to nail down the problem....


One question: For a Windows XP install which driver pack in 227 is most appropriate, the NT, the 2k or the 9x driver?



Thanks again,
RDP
