Here’s the secret: You don’t need a special Esky driver. The 0905A uses a generic USB video device chipset (often the Sonix or Generalplus chip). Windows 10 has a native driver for it – you just have to force Windows to use it. Once forced, the driver loads sn9c105

If you search for this driver, you will likely encounter two outcomes:
