-trying to keep track of which interfaces have an xp/2000 driver.. and which interfaces were updated for Windows 7 64bit

-generally i think its worthwhile to investigate trying to get the XP driver to recognized on any 32bit version of windows; windows vista 32bit, windows 7 32bit, windows 8 32bit, windows 10 32bit etc i am speaking from experience as i have confirmed my mtp av parallel unit to work in windows 10 32bit with the XP driver so basically its very possible + likely that any XP driver for any product is basically a "windows 32bit driver" which means it will only work properly when installed on a 32bit OS running 32bit Software (4gb ram limit)

Roland UM550 (2002)

so ya basically if its by Opcode - gibson gave a XP driver in 2002 but the Partys over - no 64bit support ever
if its by Emagic, theres a win2k/XP driver 32bit only - no 64bit windows support ever but it works on 64bit mac, or 32bit mac aswell
if its by MOTU, 64bit support only offered on USB midi interfaces (with white buttons)
if its by roland / Yamaha / Steinberg - 64bit support is available!
