which I expected. At this point I looked at the bootstrap for a non-rll
vs a rll and find that while the non-rll bootstrap looks like code the
rll bootstrap looks like a table has ovrewritten it. Calls to tech support
and notes on the bulletin board have left me with no answers, just frustration.
Is there anyone out there that has gotten the new driver to work with

that have had better luck? E-mail me please. If a work around is found  
I'll post it.
