This controller requires the Skaarhoj I/O module to be loaded. Connect the controller to your network through its ethernet port and follow the "Raw Panel" instructions that come with the controller. Once properly configured VidBlasterX will automatically detect the controller and initialise it.



Until Skaaroj starts offering a VidBlasterX edition of this controller you may want to cap some of the controller's buttons. This can be done quite easily using this (Word) template, transparent (overhead projector) sheets and a laser printer.



Here's a brief overview of the buttons' functionality in alphabetical order.
