And their forums were suspended last time I looked so its hard to even
find other users.

I have seen mine work on Win98 (USB1.1) and WinXP (USB2.0). I have also
seen the device detected on one of my Linux boxen as a Mass Storage
Device (with a non-standard filesystem). Sadly the other Linux box (also
USB2.0 didn't see anything at all.

The Datel software worked fine on both Win32 machines, on Win98 I needed
to installed a driver off the CD first. To copy .dol files to the memory
card simply drag a .dol file into the file list on the right.

Seeing as how there is no documentation on the CD and they packaged the
product with a manual for a different product (Action Replay MAX) it
took me bloody ages to figure that out.
