Epolig Summit Drivers

Posted: 08-27-2004, 11:08 PM
Hi All,

We have an Epilog Summit laser engraving machine which, although a few years
old (about 9) has been well cared for and maintained, and so is still quite
functional for many tasks. We'd like to upgrade our computer systems here
to XP for all the obvious reasons (stability, security, management etc.) but
the drivers are only Win9x compatible!

Over the past year and a half, I've sent countless emails to the
manufacturer (Epilog Corporation in Denver), pleading with them to write an
XP driver or even loan me the source code to get someone here (in Australia)
to write one. I've said I will sign whatever they want me to sign to
protect their intellectual property.

I've said I would then gladly -give- them back the driver for them to
sell/distribute to their clients with the same machines so everyone wins!
Unfortunately, they have said no on both counts and, despite my best
efforts, we look like being left out in the cold on this one.

Any ideas, I'm really in a bind on this one?

Johnathan

I should have mentioned, it is an Epilog Summit 3.0 model. They wrote
drivers for the 5.0 machines, just not anything earlier.

Cheers,

Johnathan.
