I read on the Margi homepage once that the Linux(?) driver did not need a ZV-port (Zoomed Video port). Does that mean that it would be possible to hack a Windows driver to make the Dvd-To-Go card work on a non ZV-port laptop, like the Libretto 50/70ct? It would probably not work as great as with a ZV-port, but perhaps good enough? Also, does anybody know of a video player, besides Margi's own, that can use the dvd-to-go hardware? The options in the Margi player are too few in my opinion. > Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2007 00:49:12 -0800> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: > [email protected]> Subject: RE: [LIB] videos on 110CT> > Date: Tue, 13 > Nov 2007 09:49:31 +0100> From: "Avi Cohen Stuart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> > Subject: RE: [LIB] videos on 110CT> > Hi John,> > I'm using the Margi > DVD-to-Go as a hardware DVD decoder.
