Actually, yes.  We did try the EZ-Driver software.  And just for grins and
giggles, we tried to use a couple of other manufacturers drive overlay

their fingers or two cents worth in on the problem at one time or another.
If you DO find another solution that works (besides the one of going with a
different drive) ALL of us would be interested in hearing what it was.
