Re: USB driver for a simple device?



Thanks, Rich,

...I'm an idiot, unplugging then reconnecting the device works perfectly.
It looks like you can even dump the new driver in the extensions folder,
then just momentarily disconnect the device.
I'll make an effort to keep driver stuff in Driverland.

Thanks again,
