Hi again, I wonder if there is any progress including/merging the frontend-driver MC44S803 i.o. to get my Cinergy T USB XE running under Linux? Currently I can use it on a WXP-VM, but I guess it's not the best solution making this detour.. Regards Detlef Detlef Rohde schrieb: > Hi Roberto, > tnx for doing your test!
