Hello, been shoping around for the smallest midi keyboard, around 37 keys needed, found the perfect thing, I don't need quality, just something that's pretty small and fit to travel with, the Macmice Garagekey seem to fit the bill.

Here is the link to one : http://www.mac-pro.com/s.nl/it.A/id...c=2&category=16

This is pretty expensive for what it is, but I'm determined to find it for a lower price, now I've found it somewhere for 89 $ but they charged 50$ for shipping to Canada...

But the problem has to do with it's compatibility, most sites say it won't work with XP, this one say it now does... is it a driver upgrade or the actual hardware that is now compliant with XP... I wanna know if I could buy it anywhere or will I have to purchase it in that store for that reason only, just purchased a Macbook.. but don't want to waste all my Windows music software, so I want this to work in both environements. I would really appreciate help for that, thanks.

Francis.

It doesn't seem to be very clear… I've tried to find the website of the manufacturer but there's no direct information from them (they have a site but only links to distributors). It's marked as working now with XP (at the US distributor website) but there's no more details… sad.gif And they have advertised this one as a GarageBand companion from day one and the supposedly XP support is recent, there must not be a huge amount of eventual XP users.

But it sure works on OS X ! laugh.gif

(thread is moved as XP is OT, no arm done though wink.gif

Some hardware may need modified drivers to work on a macbook running XP.

At the system level it's still a Mac and doesn't have a pc style bios. Apple modified a buttload of drivers for the Boot Camp install. Also remember it's beta software, I wouldn't do critical work on it.

It's a definite use at your own risk. I suggest a keyboard that is XP and Mac complient, M-audio or Novation.

Just in case, Apple just updated the BootCamp beta.

Another solution could be to try the virtualization solution from Parallels, it may be better (or worse) for you.
