Logic can't differentiate in this case, but someone else's knowledge and experience might.īy the way, "duff" has a variety of meanings around the globe, but for someone of my vintage it means rubbish. The troubleshooting method I'm using is to ask the questions I've written in my first post.įor example, if I get no activity shown in the Midi-ox monitor in XP, is it valid to assume the keyboard is duff, or does the absence of a driver produce the same symptom ? Not quite sure what you're suggesting here by way of "stuff", presumably hardware ?

I've got a CRO somewhere, lots of leds, and digital meters, so if someone could offer an alternative method using hardware, that would also be useful. Google hasn't pointed me to one yet, nor to a manufacturer, but I'm still searching.Īlternatively, is there another way of checking the keyboard output ? Most grateful if anyone can give me a lead on this, if a driver is necessary, and even a source for one. Question - did this keyboard need a driver in Windows ?
