Thanks for the idea but I have to stick with 4.X series for other reasons. I had never experienced problems on my 4.7 install on a Compaq Armarda 1500c. In fact I had 2 of these devices attached via a Aten UH-102 hub and everything chugged along great. I took out the hub when I started getting problems. Maybe I should install 4.7 on my new laptop and test. -- Daryl Sayers Direct: (02) 8425 5507 Corinthian Engineering Ph: (02) 9906 4333 Suite 19, 401 Pacific Hwy Fax: (02) 9906 1556 Artarmon, NSW, 2064 email: daryl@ci.com.au Australia www: http://www.ci.com.au
