I have an EMU Proteus 2500, It has a USB socket on back, I have tried plugging it in but it don't reconize it. I have looked for drivers for it and was unsucessful, it don't say anything in manual. Has anyone got it working and does it work on midi I/O.
Please help

You can use the USB connection with the included E-Loader application (Mac/Win) to manage Patterns and Songs stored on the Proteus (see Fig. 3). Data transfer works in both directions; you can back up the module's music onto your computer, or you can download sequences (in Standard MIDI File format) to the Proteus. If your computer doesn't have a USB port, ELoader can use MIDI ports instead (but the transfer of data will be much slower). Some operations — such as upgrading the Proteus 2500 operating system — require the use of MIDI ports.
The presence of a USB port is encouraging, but unfortunately, the implementation doesn't go quite far enough. I wanted the ability to have a USB-connected Proteus 2500 show up as an available MIDI device on my computer, just as my USB-connected MIDI interface does. Instead, I had to use up limited MIDI connections and run multiple cables to the Proteus.
