Thanks very much for the tips. I've downloaded the firmware and Windows
installer, now I just need to get someone (at work) with a Windows box
that isn't totally locked down, to run the firmware update. My NMCI
windows box told me to drop dead when I tried it.
BTW, I once saw this reader working correctly on an FC6 installation,
with a lot of hand installed packages. Too bad that the "improvements"
to the code broke something that was working.
Regards,
John
