There is certainly something on the physical usb layer which is unknown to the (software) USB experts here. The logfiles in the previous email shows up enough and is clear enough. Why do you think is this documented in the hardware specs of one of our devices? The chip which has those problems unfortunately doesn't have such registers. AGAIN: According to the hardware spec of on of our product Available Bulk Transfer Size are: - 188 * n bytes, where n = 1 ~ 256.
