I have a driver that works and it's the one your refering to. It's called Clarismac. I spent almost 46 dollars trying to get this driver and it still doesn't fully work. The only flaws are that it doesn't play Music CD's of the DA (This shouldn't be a problem. You can use the stand alone controls on the front of the CD) and you can only paly one disc at a time. I mean that you can paly one disc, but you can't switch discs without turning your computer on and off again. I'll be glad to send you a copy. Hey, I'll even pay for shipping. Am I a nice guy or what? Just e-mail your snail mail address and we're in business. My e-mail address is mblaiss@utmem2.utmem.edu
