It looks like a big usb stick with slots for memory cards. It's not something silly like the device saying it only needs 100mA while in reality it needs 200mA? Or are those numbers only used to calculate how many devices may be connected? > It might work better at full speed than at high speed (although you > probably don't want to use it in a degraded mode). I have ehci built-in, how can I force full speed? Hm, in the BIOS maybe. I'll try it with my neighbours' pc later today, if I've the chance. Thanks, Indan
