Looks like a command line for a shortcut or something like that. Maybe for Quake 3?

For example:
"quake3.exe -nologo /Zel..."

Simply try it

I'm thinking it is for the assembly program.

Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 looks like the tool required to assemble the driver package.

Looks like I'll have to learn something new again darn it.

Of course assembling the driver is one thing, making changes a bit more daunting.

Actually, one of the reasons that Rampage was delayed was because engineers were deverted to Banshee.

An "intergrated" solution was required to make OEM buyers happy. This further delayed Rampage along with feature creep.

Great research Gary

Did you just open the .dll file with VB6.0?

Quaker763 Junior Member Offline It really is kind of ridiculous Posts: 67 Australia Gender:	Re: Rampage dongle Reply #190 - 23.02.12 at 11:12:00 Just a thought, could the drivers have been built with a (I'm not sure if they had one when 2000 was around) Windows Driver development kit? Im not a software engineer, but it just seems wrong that they'd build it in Visual studio . Just my 2c. Good luck

I have been digging around trying to find a better answer to that question, someone more comfortable with software might be able to answer.

I think the program is just used for compiling and the version is right.. but were working in the dark here unless I can find a few more people to bring on board.
