Hello I managed to get my software running, not only under Linux but under windows (XP and vista) as well. I succeeded in porting the sources from Linux (Qt) to windows (Qt, Mingw), and it runs now on a different XP only machine (my wife's) as well. Obviously, the weaknesses of the elektor card are still there.
If you are interested, I'll try to send it to you and I am interested in getting feedback. best jan 2009/10/9 davidjmessing <[email protected]> > > > > Thank you very much for the info. > > Regarding the need for a preselector, I found the man on bobsamerica.comhas > the best advice on preselectors ever.
