For what you're paying, I'd get something else that is hardware 100% MPU-401
compatible. Something like a ROLAND or Turtle Beach card. You don't
really want to have to load drivers and all that just to get general midi.

I have a Maui which is a Turtle beach card, it's not too bad for ($200) 
general use, but I'm thinking of getting a Sound Canvas.
