            I can't comment on if this will work from windows.  However
            it seems
            that others think it may or may not work.  but I think rob
            said you
            would need the driver    
            
            So are you able to perhaps use a live cd or live flash disk
            ?
            
            If you are still having issues are you able to make it to a
            future lug
            meet ?  Exeter lug meets have access to a tv so you can plug
            a pi in to
            that and we can get you up and running or at least try to. 
            Meeting
            details are on the lug website.

            ...Thanks Paul but I just can't make it to Exeter. It's too
            far away for me. I'm thinking about prehaps buying an SD
            card from the Raspberry site with an image already written
            on it. I know it's a lazy way out but it's all I can seem to
            be able to do :(
            Cheers, Jon.
