They're not even the same speed inbound as outbound. They apparently can't talk on both the USB and PCI at the same time... Most of the motherboards using intel parts seem to work fine. USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-M) USB 2.0 EHCI Controller (rev 01) Is known to work. I'm still searching for a PCI add-in card that doesn't suck. I tried the VIA based chip set and it was slow too. I understand that there may be Philips based cards, but I haven't located one. If you find a fast add-in card, please let me know. > do you have a simple FX2 firmware that works > on any FX2 based device which just produces random data _fast_? Nope, sorry. ex3 might work, I think that it just says "OK" whenever asked for data, but it's been a while since I looked at it.
