I don't have much hope for it either.  Then again in the case of my
wife's laptop the thing is useless in windows too.  It doesn't work with
cards bigger than 512M for some reason, so her 1GB card from the camera
doesn't work.  Plugging in the camera works, using the card reader in
the usb connected printer works fine, using an external card reader on
usb works fine.  Just the TI crap doesn't work. :)
