I can't speak for Finale since I am only assuming it is connected to the driver as same as general input devices such as keyboard and mouse, listening to the input. The serial interface driver doesn't need to ping the hardware periodically and frequently, while USB does. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
