Re: USB power?

[Don <dr2@xxxxxxxx>]

Weeeellllllll......sometimes you have to have tech support bounce up a few 
levels...just did a run around with HP on my 8250 scanjet...the thing does 
a total crapout on a few USB 2 chipsets when scanning in duplex mode...and 
ASUS happens to be one of the sets...the damn error looks like a windows 
error until you look at it really closely then it's a comm issue...had to 
be a real bastard about it, but finally I got up a couple levels to a guy 
that "really wants to talk to you"... :)  Come to find out I'm only one of 
about 5 or so that have had this reported error...

Their solution(and ONLY solution) was to put a USB 1.1 hub between my 2.0 
hub and the damn scanner...problem solved...slower but it works fine...but 
my new dual xeon 3.2gig'ers pick up the slack....  Can't wait to run those 
babies on some neural net sims... :)
