I would recommend the use of USB2 if possible, as it is much better and faster than the old 1.1.. As for other people reporting issues remember this... Someone has a problem, they tell 5 mates about it who in turn tell 5 mates.. (etc etc..) Someone has success.. they tell 2 mates.. People with a problem are very quick to whinge and whine, we all do it, however someone with a success story will very rarely post a discussion thread, forum post or start up an IRC conversation about it.. I hope this clears a few things up... Neil S -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
