S3E1600 Digilent drivers

[fili]

Hello

Today I finally got my Spartan 3E 1600 eval board from Digilent. Th
problem is that that I can't make it work with the USB cable programmer.
think it's something wrong with the drivers.
When connecting it to Windows XP SP3 it reports the VID/PID pair as 03FD
000D. On the other hand, in the dmodusb.inf from the Adept drivers I foun
4 pairs:
VID_1443 PID_0007
VID_1443 PID_0005
VID_1443 PID_0003
VID_1443 PID_0001
This means that it can't recognize my board and fails to install an
driver. Replacing any pair with 03FD/000D will allow the driver to b
installed but Adept still can't find my board and the green LED next to th
USB connector is not lit. I guess I should replace all pairs with somethin
meaningful, but I don't know exactly the values.
On the other hand, Windows 7 recognizes the board without any driver (as
Xilinx USB cable), the green LED is lit but Adept can't see it ("No device
connected"). The funny thing is that in Win7 the VID/PID pair i
03FD/0008.
Rather strange I might say... The board seems to be functional because whe
in normal operating mode it writes text on the LCD and blinks LED's.

Does anybody have any advice?
(searching for the Ubuntu install CD..., let's see what VID/PID I get ther
)

Thanks,
Fili

It's me again

I finally got it working, but not the way I expected. I've uninstalled al
drivers and installed Xilinx ISE Webpack. This one came with drivers tha
have the correct VID/PID pairs and now I'm able to program the board vi
Impact. Digilent's Adept still can't see the board.
I'm still interested if there's a way to program the board via Adept (
don't want to install webpack on all computers) but at least I'm no
desperate anymore, as I have a way to do it.

Thanks... err.. for listening my problems
Fili
