You are probably correct. At 02:01 PM 1/14/2007, Kevin L. Gibbs wrote:
But in my case, the hardware is no longer made. The company went out of business. Do I have to replace an otherwise functioning expensive piece of gear because the company that built it is no longer around to devise a driver for it? I suppose I'm trying to say that the specific piece of hardware is no longer specifically viable. Had not a couple of German guys written a driver literally before turning out the lights, I would have been screwed three years ago. There was no plug and play compatibility in the XP operating system to cover this then. Why should there be such backward compatibility in Vista now? I'd be thrilled to see it. I just don't think it will happen and some of us will have to literally pay the price for that.

If they did then millions of users would be left in the lurch and probably running for the Mackintosh hills. The worst case will be that you need to install some new drivers for the old gear, just as Sandy said. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandy Licht" <slicht@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2007 1:28 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Midi Interface If the hardware is still viable, I expect the manufacturers to develop Vista drivers for them. We probably won't be using Vista for a while, though. Sonar 6 probably won't be compatible until next fall. At 05:41 PM 1/13/2007, Kevin L.
