If you install the driver, it will show up as a device in Finale. There are some aggravations I have with the thing that are the fault of the driver: You must install with out the device plugged in, shut down, plug it in, and restart. Then it will show up. If you unplug the device, restart without it plugged in, you'll have to reinstall the driver, because windows forgets about it.
As long as I keep my USB MIDI controller plugged in, I have no problems.

The laptop lacks the game port that I use on my desktop to connect a MIDI keyboard to it, but has USB2. There are products (in particular the Keystation 49 from Midiman of Arcadia, CA) that are claimed to provide MIDI information via USB (and can be powered by it). Has any of you used this hardware set-up? My concern is whether Finale will be able to find the keyboard via USB.
