To me it should be common courtesy to reply as soon as possible, even if it's just an acknowledgement. You might learn more from a phone call Still no reply - but I've not had time to call them up yet and start making a noise. Do you have a copy of the old firmware - and is there any reason not to downgrade? No reason not to downgrade, Q, if you don't need the fixes and features in the current firmware. I understand that some folk are running on firmware 3.20, Yes, I do have copies, but you can also download here: http://www.gawisp.com/perry/oem_sensor/ Specifically: http://www.gawisp.com/perry/oem_sensor/GPS18xPC_LVC_320.exe Cheers, David ___ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions

At the moment the unit is only used for time keeping so some of the new stuff makes no difference. - I'll see how it goes and report back by the weekend hopefully.

[ntp:questions] 64-bit serialpps.sys despite unsigned?
The .zip file with the 32-bit serialpps.sys also has Itanium and x64 versions built, which are to the best of my knowledge (a) untested and (b) likely to work just fine as the changes from the original serial.sys are quite minor, and I doubt serial.sys in later Windows versions has changed much. I believe the serial.sys source is from circa Vista, but I would say the same about XP/2003 era sources. With Windows XP and Server 2003, 64-bit versions refuse to load unsigned kernel drivers (.sys files which are kernel-mode DLLs). I gather some 32-bit systems require signed drivers since Vista. Trying to understand the feasibility of defeating that restriction, I came across: http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=dseo Which apparently allows ongoing, hands-off use of unsigned drivers after initial setup. I am curious to hear from anyone who tries it with serialpps.sys and ntpd on Windows.
