Would like to add my name to the long list of users looking to modify thier cradle to work on WIN 7.  Winter months are here, hope the project is going well.

Winter is (hopefully) nearing its end. Any updates on this? I'd love to have Windows 7 recognize my hacked drive as a DMS and not as a mass storage device.

I will order several USB cradles (3+) that are Win7 compatible.   I have many DMS loaded with WD320 drives .....and many hours of lost time trying to make them all play well together.   I am tire of buildiing XP SP3 virutal machines.  Sigh.    Hope Terry has some time to do the batch build.......did it ever happen?

Please tell me this is happening! I have an old kenwood excelon keg that vista isn't recognizing. I tried installing the web drivers and it says I don't have permissions?! Anyway, I think this would solve the problem!

Things are definitely happening behind the scenes. Here's the latest news:

I have handed the cradle project off to someone who can devote the necessary amount of time to it. That person is very well-known, but in order to avoid flooding them with email, they'll make an announcement here when the boards are close to completion.

I am sending that person all the stuff I have, including the Cypress development kit, the cradle DMS connectors, and a working pile-of-parts that reports that it is a "PhatHack Cradle" to Windows / PMM and works as such, although it isn't in the DMS cradle form factor.

Please don't speculate (at least not in public ;D) as to who you think the well-known person is. It almost certainly isn't the person you're thinking of (whoever that may be).

This is very good news! Thanks for posting this update.

Since your post practically begged us to guess who you have working on it, my guess is Santa Claus.  :D

I'm interested in a couple of the new cradles that enable Windows 7 to run my DMS's with ease.  ;) ;D 8)

Fantastic news. Thanks for your many efforts Terry and thanks to whoever has been so kind as to take the project on. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these so I can finally update the ancient music in my car! :-)
