I have an 05R/W too.
The reason I ask is that the 05R/W has effectively two output ports and 
Korg driver obviously addresses this somehow.
Anyhoos.
It may not be economic to faff about with this idea.
It would definitely work, but ebay has a shedload of sub £10 USB midi 
interfaces and I could always use the 05R/W in the meantime till I've 
saved up £10 ;)

It's mainly for...

I've dumped the dosh on an eeePC the other day, should arrive in the 
next few days. After the fail on the GP2x, I'm actually very happy that 
it did, as the eeePC has better everything (well, it is twice the price 
too) but is still portable enough for me.

What I can do is convert one of the USB to serial cables to a short lead 
and an 8 pin mini DIN for the 05R/W...
