I've just bought a MSR605 and hoped libmsr would work "out of the box" since
the claim is: "Etekcity® MSR605, compatible with MSR206 completely."
See

er-writer-encoder/247985207.html
Some stuff seems to work (despite error messages):

I've attached the manual. There's also a SDK (code in C for Windows).
What can I do to help getting this model fully supported? Thanks!
