Yes, from that Web site, but the page notifies 
"There is no software available for download. 
Can't find what you're looing for?  Simply contact us."

To get an installer, I registered, logged in, traced through a 
hierarchy of menues to identify the requirement and ultimately got 
these files. 
mtxdriver-installer-x86_32-cvs-1.4.7.run
mtxdriver-installer-x86_32-cvs-1.4.6.run

Each of them contains an elaborate shell script followed by a binary 
archive.  "sh <...>.run" extracts the archive and proceeds to attempt 
making the driver.  The log in my previous message is from 1.4.6 
whereas 1.4.7 fails earlier in the script.

Just submitted a request.  Will report later.

Thanks,                     ... Peter E.
