This business of who is responsible for bundled products is a problem,
and Media Vision is not entirely without blame on this front as well.
I have a NEC multimedia kit which comes with version of the PAS+ card.
When I had trouble with the windows drivers I called MediaVision, who
make the PAS+ card. No dice. Since I bought it from NEC I have to get
tech support from NEC, even thought the drivers are written by MediaVision.
They were polite about it at least though. NEC did help me get it all
straightened out.
