Is anyone able to give instructions on how to make Inguz work on either SBS 7.5.2 or 7.6 on a Windows 7 machine driving an SB Classic? There are various suggestions for editing the plugin file but it is hard to compile a working solution from all the scraps of information out there? And certainly

Hm, I guess it depends what one understands by a 2. incarnation of the Transporter. If it is to be envisioned as an upmarket, high-grade device (with whatever functionality is deemed appropriate) and priced = 1k USD, I will only consider it if first: 1. Logitech get their act together as far as
