Re: TWO BCR as controller

2011-03-02 by diddywahdiddy1

Did this and magically everything seems to be in order. B-controls even shows to ONline devices. WOW!! Now, I'll keep my fingers crossed, still a bit uncertain about whether this will stick. But after shutting down and rebooting the pc both devices are still going strong.

Thanks, Mark!
