Running Nomad JB3 on Windows 10?
« on: November 06, 2016, 05:43:37 AM »
Might anyone be able to demonstrate how to run the drivers on a Windows 10 machine, please?

http://support.creative.com/Downloads/welcome.aspx

I've downloaded all the drivers, plus Creative Media Source 5, but all the installs fail - the media source can't find an installed machine, and the JB3 driver wont work either.

Yes, I still use this old tank for open taping! Love it and it's very reliable.

Cheers,

Unfortunately, I don't think anyone has ever been able to get it to work...

Thank you both for the advice! I run a Windows XP machine, but it's clapped out, so I'm running it down by seeding a bunch of shows I didn't get round to.

Will do the last bunch of transfers from the JB3, then retire it.

Officially in the market for a second M10!

You could install something like Linux Mint on the old machine and use GNOMAD2 - that combo still works....

Might even be able to do a Virtual Box Linux install on the Win10 machine - not sure that's ever been tried.

The problem is most likely not due to Windows10, but 64 bit vs. 32 bit. A 32 bit driver will not work on a 64 bit machine.

It should work in a virtual machine, like suggested, though. If you have the XP disk, I would try that first since you are already familiar with the interface.

Not sure - this is early USB stuff - like 1.0...?

Not sure what part you are disagreeing with, but USB should not matter, except for older versions not being able to transfer the data as fast.

If I remember correctly, the JB3 used a proprietary file system, which is why you cannot simply plug the HDD into a computer. The driver translates the file system into something the computer can understand.

I am not sure if either of my JB3 even work, or have the time to try installing drivers on a VM to test it.

I cant recall at this point - its USB 1.1 - But something (not supported by Windows anymore) on the JB3 side has kept it from working like most devices/drives.

If it weren't, surely somebody would have made it work by now...

I recall - the original software didn't even work that great to start with...

Worth noting the GNOMAD2 solution supports USB Only - it wont do the Firewire.

Just remembered something...

dbPowerAmp made something callled "SVETA portable audio" - that supported the JB3

https://www.dbpoweramp.com/sveta-portable-audio.htm

But looks like support only went to XP...

Yes, that is the same as the JB3 drivers. 32 bit computers pretty much went extinct with Windows 7. It should be possible to get the drivers to work on any 32 bit system, which pretty much puts Vista at the top of the range, as far as Windows goes. I have got printers to work on my 64 bit Windows 7 machine by using 64 bit drivers for similar printers, for example. Since there are no similar devices to the JB3, that is not an option. I see no reason for it not to work on an XP virtual machine though, or any 32 bit Linux VM either, with the right driver. I have several VMs, and the only real problems I have are with the MAC ones.
