Although it was no small miracle when it happened, a driver for the PERC5 was added to TUVEL3 last year, in time for the hardware release. I don't remember the exact update, but this controller works quite well with SL 3.0.8. But I agree that using SL5 or at least SL4 would be much better, if it's possible. - Stephan -- Stephan Wiesand DESY - DV - Platanenallee 6 15738 Zeuthen, Germany
