Any news? > > thanks, > Scott Hi Scott, AFAIK, it's a TI DSP .... Unfortunately, I bought these cards thinking there wouldn't be much difference between the 520 and the 520+. From what I could find from google before, the TI DSP is a proprietary design, with no open source drivers available or available in the near future. I'd suggest returning the 520+'s and getting a pair of 520's, as I did...!
