Hi all, please can any one help!? as you see from the post i need VisionPlus Magic Box to work with MSC2005, i have seen all the comments about the BDA drivers, but i have not seen any that would work with the USB versions, Twinhan said "yes it is compatable" with MSC2005 but i believe i dont have the right drivers as it doesnt work

Any help would be great,
Cheers

Well if it is supported ~ Then you should presumably be using the TwinHan 1.2.x BDA drivers. Have a search here for a link to them, if they are not on the manufacturer's website.

Dont think it is supported in the driver, reading the config file, it says its PCI, can any of this be changed to be used with a USB device, must me a guru that can help, pleasseeee.

Try and get more information out of TwinHan. There is no magical way of configuring PCI only drivers to work with USB devices. I have heard that they are working on BDA driver's for the newer USB 2.0 devices, I don't know what they are planning as far as the USB 1.1 devices ~~~

Presumably there would not be much extra work... However in most cases manufacturers seem to be relying on the chipset and tuner manufacturers to initially write the BDA minidrivers and then just integrate the appropriate ones that their products are based on.

There are later drivers publicly available, however they don't seem to have any USB device support in them either ~

SiUK,

is your device a Magic Box or a TwinHan Magic Box II?

The first one does not have BDA drivers at all, as far as I know. While if you do have the second, there is hope.

Cheers
