Digi Connect SP Click Product Support Drivers. From the Operating System Specific Driverslist box, select your operating system. A list of available downloads and release notes for your operating system appears. The miniport driver uses the port driver's IPortMidi interface to notify the port driver of hardware interrupts. In addition, the port driver communicates with the miniport driver's stream objects through their IMiniportMidiStream interfaces.
Download the latest drivers, for example:
- Using the same USB port will allow the PR3 to use the same Virtual Com Port number and ease future software configuration. Plug the other end of the USB cable into the USB plug on the PR3. A message saying that the driver has successfully installed will show. If using the supplied CD-ROM Device Driver disk, insert the disk now.
