It would appear that
http://pchdtv.com/faq.php#faq0000005
states otherwise. Admittedly, it's far from clear which driver type
takes precedence, and they don't mention 64-bit drivers, which will
hamper 64-bit Windows users for awhile.
It would appear, however, that things are a bit confused on their
website; if one adds a card to the cart the cart reprises the paragraph
above, contradicting the FAQ.
It's a nice gesture but the follow-through looks slightly confused to me
personally. :-)

People think that libraries are safe. They're wrong. They have ideas.
(Also occasionally ectoplasmic slime and cute librarians.)
