That's a pretty odd comment to make about Dotan, who clearly spends more 
time helping than yelling.  You don't get around this group much, 
apparently.

I _really_ hate to point out the obvious, Dotan, but I usually find googling 
the device ID works well, and googling: "0c45:60fc Microdia" gives me 
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/975980.html which 
seems to have a solution.

Which still, in no way excuses Microdia's support.
