Thanks so much for your reply! Managed to download the software with
no problems. But the drivers...I will need help. I'm still in the
same boat concerning the software that came with the MD unit(Japanese)
that does contain drivers. I selected the Sharp drivers but those are
in Japanese (or an attempt at Japanese). I searched the Sharp USA
website but with no luck. Any suggestions?
Your help is appreciated!
