It works if I disable USB 2.0 support in the BIOS, does that tell us anything new? The thing is sold as a USB 2.0 device, does this just confirm that it's a cheap device which is just lousy quality, or can it be considered broken? ... I tried it with my neighbour's computer and there it didn't work either, so it's just broken hardware it seems. Oh well, tested one patch today, so it wasn't totally useless. Thanks for the help, Indan
