here's one for the archives. last i checked, there was no info about using 
this with ubuntu-studio.

http://www.tapcoworld.com/products/linkmidi/index.html

i just got a chance to test this out, and it "just works". all 4 ports 
show up. for the price ($50-60 US) it seems to beat anything else i've 
seen, especially since it doesn't require any extra (proprietary) 
packages.

i even upgraded the firmware without any problems: download the windows 
installer; unzip; use amidi to send the sysex file; wait for the lights to 
turn off; unplug; re-plug; done.

i haven't done any torture-testing, just midi dumps. i'm planning on just 
using it for backing up midi stuff to the computer, so for me it passed 
the test.

        "You don't have a peaceful revolution. You don't
         have a turn-the-other-cheek revolution. There's
         no such thing as a nonviolent revolution. Revolution
         is bloody. Revolution is hostile. Revolution knows
         no compromise. Revolution overturns and destroys
         everything that gets in its way."
