Hi Guys,

Just fixed up my Empeg (new drives, new IDE cable), and was re-installing some software, when I remembered tonyc's Emptriv, which I never got around to trying. From what I've read, it sounds like Emptriv doesn't work on the current firmware due to some font issues. Can anyone confirm that that's the current status? If so, I wouldn't mind perusing the source code to see if there's anything I could do about it, but it looks like the download link is dead. So, second question, anyone have a copy of emptriv-0.92.tar.gz they wouldn't mind posting? Thanks!

Download link works now, sorry about that.

It won't work with the 3.x fonts. I had done some work on a version that used vfdlib (and thus supports 2.x and 3.x fonts) but didn't finish.
