That's been my experience too, using Valentina in MetaCard. 
Unfortunately those stacks that start out in Revolution have no access 
to the same external. Rev ships with an unusual combination of drivers 
in one folder and the externals in a separate .bundle (on OS X). I 
couldn't find any way to use them that way (I tried to use MC to build a 
standalone with them, but I couldn't get it to work.) I believe that the 
downloadable external at Valentina's site has the drivers built into the 
same file, while Rev splits them out separately.

Actually some of the main info I want to know from the Rev team is what 
that .bundle does, what the drivers do, what are their required relative 
locations on disk, and what relationship one has with the other.
