The site may go down soon, so if you need any other drivers I think you should hurry.

Original Readme below:



1/22/03 -- XP Drivers Info

Hidsporb.zip is the driver that was written by Victor Putz to get the Orb to talk to WinXP and is up-to-date.  He is working on a new version that doesn't require the Orb to be Plug & Play detected by Windows (a common problem preventing people from using their Orb with XP/2000)

Orbprops.zip is a tool that was written by Ken Yee that allows you to more easily create config files for the Hidsporb driver.

Setup.exe is my Beta Spaceware.  It is a front-end that requires the Hidsporb driver be installed and working, but does not require Orbprops.  My Spaceware is a full front-end like the Original Spaceware provided for Win9x.
