Hi all,

unfortunately there is no solution for this problem - it's a real bug. Since a
few months Saitek replaced the old H8-Chip through the newer H8000-chip. This
one is nearly as twice as fast, but has another architecture (two instructions
less). So the programs need some adaption. The first series of the Saitek Cosmos
wasn't adapted, but Saitek / Morsch is working on it.

But your explanation sounds much better, Fernando! :-))
