When you start adding all these other costs together it might still be
cheaper to have a serial/MIDI interface imported. I have also looked around for
a serial/MIDI interface and you are right, they are not to be found here in
Aus.

I would have to go over there on Sunday to see if I could find it again and get the name of the retailer. Todd could be right about Windows 95 not supporting USB and I would check to see if the drivers would work with 95 otherwise 98 would handle it. Maybe with a RAM increase if possible.Regards Leigh----- Original Message -----From: Buddhika WijeSent: Tuesday, October 28, 2003 12:36 AMSubject: Re: [disklavier] DGC1A versus DGH1BAHi Leigh,
many thanks for that advice. Yes I think it should work providing my 486
with windows 95 support the driver. Just intresting to find out which shop
did you see it for that price?
Thanks
Budds
