You are welcome.

Sadly, these problems are common. The hardware vendors will claim that
their gizmo is perfect, does everything out of the box and, of course, plug
and play. Only when you actually buy it you will discover that the sales
materials neglected to mention that the function you need requires a very
expensive accessory sold extra and made out of unobtanium (because nobody
stocks it - like the mini-DIN connector brackets for Quadros) or that the
function actually works, but it is severely limited to the point of being
unusable because some fool somewhere decided to save $0.1 by eliminating a
connector or shipping non-working firmware ...

I have had these experiences even on very expensive pieces of hardware.
Especially with VR you do have to always test before buying because the
sales brochures and salesmen are never telling the whole story if not lying
outright.
