Every couple of years I try to install the usb drivers on an XP 
computer. I have never been able to get it to work--despite several 
attempts to trick Windows into accepting the drivers. Others here have 
reported success, though. Not sure if its the usb 1.0/usb 2.0 issue or 
the SP1/SP2 issue. 

One option would be to use a Win98SE computer. You can probably find 
one for $5.00 - $10.00, less than the price of a usb cable. 

If you don't mind a slow transfer rate for backing up patterns and 
sequences, you can use midi on the XP machine.
