That's right, there is not a Vista driver for the Flex USB to Parallel converter. A standard parallel PCI card will work fine, just be sure to notice the BASE address of the converter. Some of them will use a 4 digit address like FF00, which you will have to highlight and manually type it in. The Edirol FA-66 is the only one of the sound options that has a true Vista driver. I had the D44 card running intermittently under Vista, but it was unstable.
