Hi Rick! Don't stay quiet. :-) Has Greg KH been able to get his hands on the Recommended Procedure (TM) for adjusting power and the Pearl modes? As you've probably seen on the list, people have been running into some pretty funky behaviour, with endpoints being 0, and firmware upgrades solving the issue. I imagine there is a "Windows way" that just hasn't been discovered yet. Also, you mention the usb_storage / database access conflict. I'm curious how you see that being fixed. These two pieces of functionality come in two different USB configurations, and it is my understanding that USB cannot select both configurations at the same time. Pretending to have both running at the same time will require code, somewhere, either in kernel or not, to switch wildly back and forth between these two USB configurations. Either that, or just make usb_storage politely give up its claim on request. I seem to recall other drivers doing this when I was reading through the kernel source, but can't recall which driver anymore. If anyone has a Pearl handy, with Windows, I'm curious if it is possible to do a backup of the device at the same time as having it mapped to a drive. > I had my hands on an 8800 for a while today, before the owner came back > from lunch :), so I worked through part of this.
