USB-Parellel Converter IEEE-1284

[T_Lister]

We have an old Roland CM-24 connected to a Windows 7 machine via a USB-Parallel converter. We know that it used to work, and I believe the only thing I require is a driver for the actual cable. Joyfully there is no brand on the cable itself. Any thoughts on how I might find a driver, is there a universal one?

 

Thanks in advance.

I use one made by ATEN and dont need a driver I have found a copy of the manual if that helps?

I'm still getting no where I'm afraid. All it keeps saying is that it's already found the best driver.

Have you tried updating the Driver for old Roland CM-24?

[T_Lister]

There is none. Only thing I've found is that people advise using the GX-24, which I think it used to run off. But it isn't playing friendly now... I've even spoken to Roland support, and their official line is, no, it should not work at all.

With the GX-24 driver people have said you need to look at the driver settings and make sure it is set to USB.

When I installed it, I did install it as a USB driver.

Finally got there. I had to find the PL-2305 driver and force device manager to look at it to pick up the cable. Then I was able to put the GX-24 driver on and it worked fine. Seems so simple at the end!
