So given this midi cable. It works fine in Linux/WinXP out of the box.
However in 98SE I cannot get this working it BSODs the box left and right.

At connection Win98 would recognize it, in the first round as USB composite device then for the second round it says USB Audio device then it offers to copy the kernel stuff, whether I say to keep the old stuff or overwrite it BSODs, after that the system cannot be started anymore so I just roll back partimage.

I tried these:

They install but it dont want to recognize it for the device.
