    I do, give me a sec. It's linked in my sig under USB 3.0

    Here it is. Should be the top one I believe. Thats what I use I think. I should probably update as it's been a while since I updated those.

    Sorry for bumping old thread.. but i can't seem to get it working on my R2... it says can't find host controller.
    Downloaded and tried version 2.1.32.0 onward but no luck.

    Anyone had the same problem?

    note. nvm got a friend to copy the files from the small cd :D
