Hi Bjorn.  Haven't heard from you in a quite a long while.  I thought 
you were forever married to your usermode driver?  :-)

When / if you get that Mac Mini, it would be great if you could post 
here the results of running the pvrusb2 driver there.  I do agree it 
should work without issues, but I'm not in any position to try it here 
(I don't have a mac).
