FWIW, the 1st gen M8U/M4U have drivers for Windows 98SE/Millenium up to Win10, x86 & x64.

Pretty awesome OS support if you ask me.

Edit : it's built to last. Solid metal case, TI components, Cypress CY7C64013-SC MCU/USB bridge driving a dedicated UART. Similar design found in the Emagic MT4: http://studiorepair.com/gallery/EES_Emagic/MT4/slides/Emagic_MT4_MCU__STUDIOREPAIR_10050501_1005064392.html
