USB-to-GPIO

I have 3 questions ....

Does anyone know where there are any 64 bit drivers for this product ? I realize that it was originally designed to support win XP, back in 2005, but this is 2011 and MS doesn't support win XP any longer.
The 'USB Adapter Driver.DLL' functions - ReadBlock and WriteBlock - have some optional parameters - Block96 and BlockWorkAround. Does anyone know how these parameters control the behavior of the DLL ? I've tried setting them to TRUE and FALSE without any perceptible operational differences.
Finally, while requesting a ReadBlock using pmbus command MFR_ID (0x99), according to a bus analyzer, I'm seeing valid transactions and data BUT the DLL is reporting 'Invalid Response'. Does anyone know WHY this would be happening?

Thanks

Did you ever figure out how to use the USB-TO-GPIO with Win7 x64?

Yes, I did. I was provided the latest DLL file that supported Win7 x64.

Are you talking about the TI.UsbHid.dll? I think it is the one causing my problem but not sure. Where did you download it?

The DLL extension file I downloaded from TI was ..... TIDP.SAA2.dll .... back in May 2012.

It was part of TI's "Texas Instruments Fusion Digital Power Designer" .... aka "SMBus & I2C & SAA Debug Tool"

Not only does it come with the correct DLL, but also their SMBus/I2C GUI interface that enables the user to evaluate the different commands avilable. This DLL resolved all my problems most effectively.

If you're unable to find the download on TI's site, try contacting your local TI FAE or Rep.
