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.

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.
