    It looks like the first driver is loading OK and identifying the USB device,
but the second driver is failing to map it.

    I can only suggest trying each of the other mapping drivers in turn.
It might also help to do a complete COLD reboot in between trials - I found 
that a hot (three-finger salute) did not always clear what had gone before and 
usually gave false failures, even with the correct driver.

    Good hunting !

Regards,
         Ron
