[LIB] ZV for Margi DVD-to-Go
Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2006 11:15:16 +0300 From: Vitaly Pavlenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ZV for Margi DVD-to-Go Avi, you seem to posess a real knowledge about Margi DVD-to-Go. AFAIR it requires ZV port. Strangely enough my Lib SS1000 does not have the one (I mean, L1x0 series which is equipped with ZV port is a previous generation). Is it really a must or maybe some tricks exist to make it work? Thanks. Regards, Vitaly

Hi Matt, From: Avi Cohen Stuart [EMAIL PROTECTED] I got the card running with 98SE, W2K and XP. But only with XP I got it stable enough. What kinds of issues did you have with stabilty in W98 W2K? W98 the playback was not smooth and with W2K I got BSOD in stream.sys from time to time. Just got a BSOD in stream.sys under XP as well... maybe I should try 95 again or work again on the linux driver... And XP was more stable for you!? I'll be interested in hearing how W95 works for you. Yesterday I tried a test with a PCMCIA DVD drive to try to follow up on what Phillip wrote in relation to thruput speed ISA vs PCI/PCMCIA. For some reason my Freecom drive isn't pushing bytes fast enough into the Margi. As I have the sources of the Margi driver I have to check if I didn't make a slight change somewhere in the code as my tests that I did (before my 40Gb hd drive made problems) a couple of months ago was with DVD's ripped to the HD. Also I played a bit with the bios setting by letting the OS do the irq assignments. That didn't made any real difference as far as I could see. I diff-ed the code I got vs the changes I made and I'm going to do a test again with my modified driver. The changes are little but might be significant. I don't know if I'm going to reinstall W95 again to check dvd replay. I might either try to write an own driver without leaning on Kernel Streams and reuse the existing sources partially and make a user mode driver with giveio or something else. (If i find some time.) Avi. N.B. For NDA reasons I cannot share the source code.

Okay I got my Margi DVD-to-Go card to work under Windows 95, but now having problems under 98SE! Firstly drivers. Margi's web site appears to be down, have they gone bust? Anyhow I have managed to download drivers from Billionton suitable for W95 'MCI' v2.18 and from DELL suitable for W95 'MCI' v2.16 98SE/2000 'WDM' v1.05 Note using W95 I used the MCI v2.18 successfully. Now using W98SE I have tried MCI v2.18 and the driver appears to be okay, but have no picture or sound, the dongle output may work but have not tried. I can't get any of the 3 drivers under WDM v1.05 to work at all, I get the message NTKERN.VXD device loader for this device could not load the device driver So for W98SE, should I be using the MCI or WDM driver/software set? Does anyone have a set of drivers later than the set I have tried? Any other tips, I am all ears! ...I don't want to go back to W95! Thanks, Mike.
