Bought this thing a while ago, and lost the drivers cd. Maybe someone here has the drivers?
I looked through driversguide.com and google, and www.usb-drivers.com and was unsuccessful.

Wrote to comgeeks, and got this response from,

"Sorry to say but you are out of warranty with this item and we will be
unable to assisted you with any service or support from this point on with
this item!

Thank you for using Tech Support at Computer Geeks"

Kinda irrates me, I'm not even asking for much of "warranty support"... just drivers they probably should have.

. Those chipset numbers can't be correct as that Oxford part number is FW only. Open the box and check the numbers. Then google for the chipset mfr's sites and check for drivers
Geeks has a drivers section, look there as well, but probably better to go to Oxford and/or RealTek for the latest vers.

It uses the standard Oxford 911 chipset. If you are using this enclosure with Windows Me, 2000, XP, Or MacOS 8.5 and higher no drivers are needed at all. Just plug it in and Windows/Mac will install it. Only Win95 and 98 will need drivers.
