Well I removed and re-installed the usb drivers, moved the usb cable to a different location still isn't working. I've seen old posts referring to ir 5.02 would that work with my current ir file? |

Instead of removing and reinstalling the drivers, one can try to delete the device under Device Manager, manually delete the files, and then try reinstalling the device from scratch.
On my system the files are located in:
USBIODS.inf = \Widows\inf
USBIODS.sys = \Windows\system32\drivers _________________ Mark |

I bought the cable from Rob I don't know what design is used, and perhaps a bad one slipped thru.

I tried deleting the device and files again without success. So I'll just have to continue using the parallel cable and consider the usb cable a lost cause.
Thanks, Ed |

My USB cables come from DIY Gadget, so you could check that site for additional info. _________________ Rob

FYI, another voice here... purchased two 8910s and a USB cable (new Dell w/o parallel port, yada yada...) from Rob and ...
After messing around, loading the drivers from the DIY site, I got the same SDA error. The USB cable indeed has the cable off the pin header the opposite way from most/all parallel cables we are used to. The cable goes *up* the remote back, and not off the bottom as did the parallel. Turn it around, works perfectly with IR.
(I know it says that up there somewhere, but in case people miss it or are unsure....) _________________ -Lee |
