hardware synthesizer

[Negoslav Sabev]

Can you guaranty that it will work with just USB to serial converter? Don't 
these ports function on a different levil? Will I be able to hear the boot 
and shutdown messages when the USB drivers are not loaded?
Sorry for my ignorance, but what i-o stands for? I'm not yet so good in 
english technical terms.

Thanks,
Negoslav
