Did you buy this new or second hand?

I bought one off here and it worked with the hand controller but not with the PClink. Bob of BRdevelopments upgraded the chip and from then one it worked a treat.

vikingo1000

yes I bought of second hand...but Im thinking i need to buy a comlink, this hardware got a driver on the internet page, i prove any kind of drivers, but no ones work...do u think in MRT has a solution of this problem?? or any other solution available??
