Hi

Have got a couple of requests for that driver since posting this response.

620 driver problem

*******************************************
Boy oh Boy the page has changed again!!!!!!!!

Response below was someone who had a bafo
BF-620 (and it worked) -- my guess is many market the MA as their own brand name, but fail to provide a website to download a replacement driver if the driver cd is lost or damaged


"I see the page has been modified and you'll find the ma-620 driver page is now

driver page

The driver is at

Download driver

The pdf installation manual
PDF download

I don't own such a device, but I did a lot of searching and reading - found a forum where someone had sucsess using a ma-620 for the edison."

OK your adapter was probably made in Tiawan by Mobile Action. Their web page downloads are either dud or has locked me out.

I belive in "maketh the product, suppith the driver -- and a webpage to deliver it"

I'll have a more involved hunt tonight, perhaps you could contact previous members who indicated they had a driver.

Confirm if you can if see any indication it was made in Tiawan or if it was made by another company.

Hi Anish and any one ese who found this page via google etc.

I can not find any drivers.

I've had a look, and once again I am left with a strong conviction the Edisonsoft 620 is the MA-620. Mobil Action will not support any of the cross branded products however. (Cross branding is when a company puts its own name on a product even though it was made by another company) I can't translate any of the asian languages(within websites and forums), but I can gather enough to reasure me, that is the situation.

Any suitable driver suites on the net, would be breaking copyright of Mobil Action (they go to great lengths to make you well aware of this), which is why I guess you don't see any drivers in other websites.

As stated above I believe in "maketh the product, suppith the driver -- and the webpage to deliver it" This is because the cost of supply and setting up a download site is cheap for a company to do, or at least let others share the burden. Any excuses, not to suppy a driver, involving fears another company might re-engineer said software, is bogus.

NOT many long term companies, market computer products worldwide without a decent download and support site. ie "Good" companies have have a "easy to find" legacy support download section. I stick to and recommend companies that have "stayin power" and have yet to let me down in a major fashion.

SO HEAR IS MY WARNING:: Avoid the purchase of any ir-usb product, that you can not confirm with vendor, has a LONGTERM support website with drivers FREELY AVAILABLE to the GLOBAL commmunity.

eg. if you see Edisonsoft, bafo, Mobile Action in the advertising material in a IR-usb adapter product advertisement, which none have freely available drivers, I would not recommend them.

If you have bought such a product second hand, there is no point searching for, say MA620driver.zip (250k) as most of file searching via web has been neutered. So has google for the same reasons. [Yep in what I do, books/libraries are again out doing the WWW, which once held such great hopes - ah well...So much for the electronic information age, which has succumbed to same fears which though out history, has lead to books and manuscripts being burnt and destroyed .]
