my question is how can a hardware producer can keep hardware info private when i buy his product. again CREATIVE have not supplied any driver for H/W.

please contribute.

Its like Microsoft when you buy their software, do you get the source code with it... Nope.

I just don't buy software/hardware from such companies...

I'm sorry for the service you recieved. The only thing you can really do is ask around if anyones knows.

A blacklist of companies who act like that should be available - just so that everyone knows about the swines.
