You can have a read of the help file that comes with WriteLog's Flex
driver to see how
WriteLog handled split operation on the Flex, a design we did before the
Maestro came out.

Please reference the "switching is awful clunky" and "Many have
complained" posting. I am
not sure what you are referring to. I have been aware of the "Maestro
won's SO2R" problem
for a bit, but its hard to call something "clunky" that just plain
doesn't work?

The WriteLog team doesn't have any special notifications from Flex, so
when they came
out with the Maestro, they must have something to handle split operation
but it is not compatible
with WL's driver. But we don't know what that magic is. If you're
interested in letting us
in on Flex's Maestro design and testing an update to WL's driver, let me
know.
