Well, since the Scythe support doesn't care, I have to reply to my own comment. I found a Windows 7 version of the Icon utility on the Y-E DATA homepage. It works fine on my Windows 7 x64 system. You can download it here.

Hi,
I have the same problems as the guys below. I have Win7 Ultimate 64bit and have installed the 64bit driver of Win Vista. Unfortunately just the cardreader is working (usb intern) without the correct icon. But I also installed the "icondriver" . But the main Problem is, that the floppy doesnt work. Do I have to use a FDD cable (would be bad, cause my MB ASUS P7P55d has no fdd controller...)? Or is it enough, if I have just the internal usb connection and the power cable. Can someone please tell me detailed, how I should connect everything...? And concerning the last post:

Hello,

check - Y-E DATA Windows 7 compliance status of Multimedia products

Thank you, I have downloaded the file and the symbols for the cardreader were shown now. But the problem with the floppy still exists. It's not shown in the Windows explorer, doesn't matter, if I have a floppy inside or not. Do you have another Idea? Do I need a floppy cable? What else can I do to connect floppy?

You need a floppy cable! The USB connection is for the card reader only. The floppy itself isn't a USB device.

[MrMagic]

In another Thread I read, that I don't need a floppy cable. I have a new ASUS P7P55D, which doesnt have a floppy controller. So what can I do...?

So you cannot use the floppy I'm afraid.

Had same issue ... on newer motherboards (mine is MSI ) the BIOS default is "NO Floppy" go into your sytem bios and enable the FDD and see if that works..
P.S. ( OOPS re-read your message, if floppy is not supported on Motherboard specs, your out of Luck..)
