OmniDrive USB Driver Revision History

(C) 2008 CSM GmbH

 

Microsoft provides a digital signature for drivers that have passed the WHQL testing procedures and thus keep basic quality standards.

Since Windows XP, the installation of unsigned drivers may cause insidious problems. So it is recommended to install the latest signed driver release if the new features / fixes of possibly newer unsigned releases are not required.

Packages marked with background-colour contain signed driver versions.
