Well, don't be in too big a hurry to give up. If you're having these problems, the chances are reasonably good that other people with similar hardware are too. They just don't notice or complain about it. But we would like the driver to work as well as possible for as wide a range of devices as possible. (And having someone like you who possesses the hardware in question and can quickly and reliably run a lot of tests is a big advantage!) If we can't prevent the crashes, reducing the dead time is worthwhile. Adding that jump for OUT transfers is a logical approach, for two reasons. First, we report the transfer as an error so we might as well treat it as an error. Second, since the vast majority of OUT transfers we do are data writes, a partial transfer really does indicate that something has gone pretty badly wrong. Your symptoms remind me a little of what used to happen with the Genesys chips. Maybe the same solution will help. Do you know how to add an entry for your drive into the unusual_devs.h file? It should contain the US_FL_GO_SLOW flag, just like the Genesys entries. If that stops the resets then it's the best approach. Otherwise I'll settle for doing the immediate resets.
