[Musix-users] Gina20 firmware missing

Tue Jun 20 02:28:56 CEST 2006

Well how i understand it is:

That the newer drivers (1.0.2 and later)  don't use any firmware anymore.
I asume that you are using those for Musix?

But i'm not sure what Johannes is using...

Lets wait for his reply... maybe i'm wrong.

Mano.
