USB to Midi Leads midi in/out

[Jacqui]

Hi Guys

I am looking for some information, my PC is in for repair so I want to hook up my Ketron midi sound module to my Laptop, but it does not have any midi ports on it like my PC, I was looking at some leads on the net, places like Amazon for example
www.amazon.co.uk/1503-Delivery-Interface-Converter-Instrument/dp/B004AFUP0G/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1309350807&sr=8-3-fkmr0
There seem to be a vast range in prices for these leads, starting at around £5.00 going up to around £50.00, they all look pretty much the same to me, but as I'm not really up on these things I thought I'd ask if any one knows much about them, and what I should be looking for, the laptop I'd be using on is Vista, but I may also use it on a Windows 7 Laptop at some stage.

Any advise appreciated

I contacted Amazon and they can not confirm it will work with Windows 7 has any one had any problems with that.

Windows 7 is not generally an issue, I use 7 with that lead & also xp on my old laptop...at 10 bucks give it a try, I just plugged it in and it worked no set up bs at all... :-)
