When that        happens, the fallback speed is at USB 1.1 levels or something.        Often a retry and a re-insertion kick-starts the USB 2.0        speeds.                      EV> Lord, Grant Me patience but I WANT IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!              You get want you NEED, not WANT. ;)              --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.50        * Origin: (1:396/45.29)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 18/200 19/25 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/633 987 120/340       SEEN-BY: 123/131 124/5014 5016 129/305 130/803 153/757 154/10 203/0       SEEN-BY: 218/840 221/0 6 226/30 227/114 702 229/424 426 428 452 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 240/5832 249/206 317 400 261/38 280/464 5003 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/8125 301/1 317/3 322/757 342/200 387/25 26 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 770/1       PATH: 396/45 280/464 153/757 221/6 229/664 426           |
