Hi Gernot,

I can confirm that I have similar experience to yours.
By the way do you know if one can control from the soft side (register or some 
other means)
the max current output for the card. I am having a problem when trying to tune 
with a rotor.
On the Linux side the current seems to be capped at 300 mA as on the XP I see 
it goes to
about 440 mA. I was still surprised that this card can supply less current than 
the 102g but
we take what we get ...

Thanks for the help,
Simeon

SP400 rebadge)

hy,

the wiki is not up2date. 

Twinhan VP-1041 support is now in the mantis tree (inkl. multiproto)

hg clone http://jusst.de/hg/mantis

but for me, the old initialization parameters works much better. with the new 
ones i get only a destructed picture (unwatchable).
