It is realy a small market. For example one of the big midi interface manufactures (Midiman) don't even have full supprt of there new highend products for windows 2000. You have to go for windows 9x or NT for that. But it is strage, they only have to give the specs and some one is will do the drivers for free, but they don't. They realy think that they have some uniq technology.
