Title: Works OK here
Product review: Works fine for me with an old Yamaha PSR-500 on my Gentoo Linux desktop PC. The latest kernel (2.6.27) recognizes it as soon as I plug it in. KMidi will play MIDI files on it just fine, and I can record into Rosegarden without problems. I don't seem to be having any of the problems other folks are having with PSR keyboards. Guess I'll have to wait and see how it holds up long-term.Based on some googling, there seems to be two primary issues with this device: some marginal electrical connectivity that works with some keyboard/controller MIDI outs but not others, and a broken implementation of MIDI input running status. The Linux driver actually compensates for the latter issue. The former is a crap shoot.
