Hello, Are you sure it wasnt a bad controller? I have used USB for quite some time, and I can honestly say different hardware responds differently. My current machine has used a USB Mouse, Camera, MP3 upload cable, and CD-RW for quite some time now, on both USB1.1 (which I dislike only because of the speed) and 2.0 (which is really nice to have -- speed is nice). I would take a look at an add on card or something. I had to buy a 2.0 addoncard from Maxtor and that has been doing rather well. Plus take a look at the HW compatibility for those in the kernel. I am sure that if you had a boot disk this would be fine, just booting directly off of the USB device may not work due to the kernel not seeing it and the BIOS not having support for that kind of thing. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
