Hi - Just trying my shiny puredyne USB key, I've been having problems on my Eee. I realise it's due to the physical shape of the key - it's so tiny that it doesn't have a "shoulder" to ensure it's sitting in the USB socket at 90º, and the spring action in the USB socket pushes it slightly off, making a bad contact and causing intermittent weirdness (e.g. failure to boot).
When I use a USB extension lead to get a more definite connection, things work fine. I also noticed the same thing happening in the USB socket of my larger box. Has anyone else noticed this? As an alternative to the USB extension lead, I can place a small weight on the key which pushes it back to 90º...
