At this point more testing and debugging probably won't help very much. As far as we can tell, some Genesys interfaces operating at high speed just stop sending/receiving data in the middle of a transfer for no apparent reason. It's just barely possible that the fault lies in the EHCI driver and not the devices -- however, if that's so then why is it only Genesys devices fail in this way? I thought perhaps something in the .inf file might give a clue, but it doesn't look very helpful. (The Windows 2000 driver's .inf file looks even less helpful.) Maybe the geneuide.sys and genestor.pdr files are important -- but you'd have to reverse-engineer them to understand what they do. That's something I have neither the time nor the expertise to perform. If you could do it, though, that'd be great!
