There are some snapshot releases. The last one is pretty stable (with
the experimental cursor support disabled). Unfortunately we have a
serious lack of active developers.

I've not seen that reported before. The legacy driver should be avoided
unless you have any specific need for it anyway -- it's already been
dropped from the current code.

There was never a 16bit version of the driver that I'm aware of! The
current (ie. snapshot) version of the driver is ODBC3.0 with Unicode
support.

Try the snapshot, and if you have any problems, please report them with
error messages and logfiles where appropriate.
