No blackhole, but it doesn't touch us122 users like me.

comparing some log-files of usbsnoopy (or any similar program) should solve
it. But I, too, believe that 224/428 are nearly the same on a high level.

Well, my us122 has no controller stuff. I guess it's even impossible to fix
this with a more advanced firmware;-) But, go ahead and improve things. 
Your code is always welcome, except Karsten has already solved it;-)

BTW: I'm still searching an us224 user who wants to try out a free firmware
file ( http://www.langerland.de/us122/usx2y-fw-0.1b.tar.bz2 ). It works with
us122/us428, but us224 is still untested.
