emusonacid!

just wondering if anyone on here has a usb midi adapter that will work on windows 2000 millienium edition

Which version do you mean??
- Windows 2000, belonging to the NT-line and has been also called Windows NT5
- Windows ME, belonging to the Windows 9x-line

If you 're looking for a MIDI-Interface check 2nd hand market for EMAGIC MT4 or AMT8.
It works with Win9x, Win2000, WinXP.

This looks like it will do the job and loads more.
It will even acts as a stand-alone midi merge box (great for merging a c/controller device & midi keyboard to the emu)
so not too much of a risk to try with your system at this price, even with the small chance of incompatability it is a steal.
and very cheap too £22.95 delivered
