Apple's Unitor MIDI drivers on Lion. Will anyone test?

It's for Unitor8, AMT8, MT4 MIDI interfaces. Even if you don't own any could you run it and see if it says "your computer does not need this update" ? I'm hoping that if it's not supported it won't even let you do that.

Much to their credit, Apple has kept these drivers going even in SL! And while I won't upgrade to Lion right away it would be good to know.

Thanks!

(I put this here rather than in the audio forum because I see it more as a Lion issue, but I dunno.)

I tested this, and here are my results:

At first, the installation said "You don't need this software" (or something similar), so I thought Lion might have Unitor drivers built-in. However, further testing revealed that it doesn't. My daisy-chained AMT8s were shown in the USB bus (in System Information), but Audio MIDI setup did not see them.

Then I tried the installation again, and for some reason, now it worked, and the installation continued normally. No error messages or anything. The driver (EmagicUSBMIDIDriver.plugin) was placed in /Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers as in Snow Leopard, and now Audio MIDI setup recognized the AMT8s.

Please note that I only tested the installation; I don't yet have any audio/MIDI software installed in Lion, so I don't know if any of this actually WORKS...
