Just bought a DT366 to use for home automation. 2 days later the XP installed on the system died. (evaluation version of XPe). Now the DT366 is a brick unless I can get copy of XPe with 366 drivers. If anyone has an image please PM me.
thanks in advance
Mike

Sorry I can't help with the XPe image.
What are you using for home automation software?

Hi Volkswagner
The software is custom built using VB. It is set up as a client server system with an old P4 acting as the server. The server holds all the movies / music /RSS feeds / Internet / lighting control / IR control etc. The DT366 will act as an intelligent controller (smart remote with feedback). I plan to have several mounted on the wall, and one or 2 as portable remotes.
That is why I require XPe. Windows CE may do the job, but I would have a lot of rewriting to do, and I would lose functionality. I�ve been working on the system for 3 years now and it is finally coming together. The controller is the last piece for the system .
cheers
Mike
