Oh yes, I forgot to report back sorry. So I had contact with Meinberg, their technical team explained that changing the USB Device ID may be all that's needed for making the driver work. However I had a falling out with the sales team, because they don't sell to private entities (non-corporate) such as myself, the reseller they listed only sells to corporate customers as well. So it looks like this isn't for me after all, too bad. I was in contact with another person in europe who is interested in buying a unit through a reseller, he wants to see if he can make the appropriate changes and if they work you'll probably see a tech mail. If that person steps forward then you'll know who is is :-), well known community member. Regards, -peter
