I definitely don't think ISA slots nor make-your-own-cable should be required for sending and receiving sysex to a Casio.

What about a medium old PC with a PCI slot? Add in a ubiquitous Creative SoundBlaster card that has a gameport. You can still buy the MIDI cables that connect to a gameport. (Example: Ebay item number 270558957311) No need to make your own.

That is still a kind of throwback solution that would require new hardware. But not ISA nor make-your-own cable.

Sorry I don't have advice about how to get your USB device working. I just wanted to comment on this one issue.
