I have looked at the USB MIDI Interfaces Nano HOWTO on
Planet CCRMA, but
am not sure if it would help or hurt to try what it suggests for the
Midisports with the Oxygen 8 (as I recall, you had said that the drivers
and firmware were different), so haven't tried what it suggests yet.
I will not work (I tried it :). You need the Oxygen8 firmware.
Apparenlty the procedure to load it is the same.
