Does it work? I just got my MBV2 cable and it doesn't work with my Windows XP SP2 computer. It works with linux on the same computer and with Win2k and WinXP SP1 on two other computers. What is going on here?

I have the same problem, I didn't have time to find out what was wrong but on my win2k machine using userport and giveio, no luck. If someone knows what to do to make it work on win2k and xp, please tell us. :)

does mb.exe just freeze? without Userports or any other direct IO driver, it says port not found... but with it it never outputs anything and locks up

Well, it's been about a month since I tried and if I remember, it could not find or communicate with the port.

XP with SP2, and my MBV2 cable works just fine. In fact, it works even better, than it did before SP2. Using totalio.
With these command lines (note, I modded my mb.exe, to include the -t function, for turbo multiboot. Jeff had meant to finish the feature, but never did. I found a reversed copy of multi.c that was used in some other multiboot program, which I believe to have come from mb.exe anyhow. I got that working. (and that was the portion of the mb.exe source code jeff could not give out, as per agreement with lik-sang). However, he was able to give me the source to the various loaders, like gbreadwrite, from which I adapted to make the turbo multiboot loader.)
mb -s [program name] -w 3 -t
mb -s [program name] -w 4
Before SP2, I had to always use
mb -s [program name] -w 10 [-t]
