$15-25 USD / hour

I have some older EEG amplifiers that only have 32 bit drivers so I cannot use them on 64 bit windows 10 machines. These work fine on 32 bit windows 7 machines but need manual installation of the driver by someone who is in expert. I am not that expert and when I try to install these drivers in win 7, I get error that complain about the .inf file. Therefore, I want to have you rewrite the inf file so the drivers always install correctly in in windows 7. See zip file for the xp drivers and inf file.

Hi, I've been looking into this issue you're having with the drivers for your EEG equipment. The equipment is based on a relatively old but "off the shelf" embedded device board made by a company called Anchor Chips, later bought out by a company called Cypress Semiconductor. The device was discontinued not long afterwards, so there was never a 64 bit driver set released for it. Unfortunately, getting 32-bit drivers to work on a 64-bit system is technically impossible - it's not just the .inf file, the actual code just doesn't work on a 64-bit version of Windows. However I found a later set of drivers released by the manufacturer which seem to have work with those devices, from what I can gather. I'd like to try those drivers to see whether we can get your devices working for you. I'd estimate doing this would be about 3-5 hours work trying a few different ways to get it to work. If that fails, the next best option is to use a virtual copy of windows, 32-bit, running on your computer and pass the EEG connection through to that when you need to use it. This would mean installing some virtual machine software (a technical choice based on what exact hardware and environment you have), then within that installing a copy of Windows 32-bit and configuring that to work with your devices. this would be an additional 3-6 hours work. I hope my proposal interests you and that we get a chance to work together to resolve your issue! Thanks!
