It's also difficult to say what constitutes a "viable driver". Most people consider that a driver is viable if it supports the basic functions of the device, like playing audio, sending/receiving packets or displaying images on the screen. Then you have a shrill minority who consider a driver non-viable, broken or useless if it doesn't support EVERY single little feature of the hardware or do everything the Windows driver does. I guess my point is YMMV as always ;-) Lee
