Hi,
I'm using WinXP Professional flat (no service packs).
Unfortunately I can't comment on the VZ. I only have a CZ-1
which works perfect with SD. That's why I had to install the
VZ in demo mode. However I assume SD works equally well with
the VZ, it's supported for a long time and the ocassional bugs may
have benn ironed out. Generally to answer the comments on the
usability of SD I couldn't live without it - all my modules are supported
and handled equally well. Since I'm using Logic it's a must for me,
and the Logic-SD autolink feature is a godsend...
