Installed 3 of them last week on Win98/Me machines.

The windows drivers are not documented correctly in the printed, cd or
web site manuals (as of last week, thou after spending the better part
of an hour on the phone to support in Auckland this may have been
fixed).

(Trick for the Win98/Me driver is to install it before you plug in the
unit even thou the manual clearly says to plug in the device first.)

Details of the chip set and a stack of other info is on the CD so it
shouldn't be to hard to track down a driver for the chip set.

There was support for the previous version.

I suggest just dropping Chris Day at DSE a quick line.  He's always on
the ball.
