14 years ago --- Quote Start --- I will have a careful read, and hope to report on how I get on. --- Quote End --- Great! --- Quote Start --- Yes I am sort of familiar with .inf editing, but may have to go to an XP machine - a Windows 7 (64bit) machine like my laptop will only install the certified drivers. --- Quote End --- Huh? The FTDI drivers and DLL install fine under Windows. Its getting it to allow the DLL to access the USB-Blaster that I'm not sure how to do, given that the add VID/PID DLL call does not exist under Windows. A pretty simple solution is to use FT_PROG to capture the EEPROM settings from your USB-Blaster, and then erase the EEPROM. Then your USB-Blaster will appear as an FT245BM device, and you can access it using the DLLs directly (since the VID/PID will be FTDI). Cheers, Dave
