I agree, it seems likely to be a hardware problem with USB. You said file copy from USB to the filesystem was just as slow. Is that using OpenFirmware or Linux? I'm expecting you used Linux. We made some USB changes in OpenFirmware, but these ought not to have had this effect, and should have n

We have a batch of RAMP units for people to play with! Develop, hack, report bugs, take them to the park when you walk your dog! And write notes on how it works, file bugs, help us test our builds. Want one? Same drill as before! http://blog.laptop.org/2011/07/25/new-xo-1-75-contributors-program-t

Sounds like a signal integrity issue is forcing the USB to run at 10 Mbps on those two laptops. Have you tried another USB stick ? Or different ports on the malfunctioning laptops ? There is little on the motherboard which can affect these ports --- they run from the connector to the Via com

No, this email is not about my generally weird behaviour, it's about a couple of my new XO 1.5's :-) I have 2 x XO 1.5's that seem to have a very slow USB transfer rate; like, I mean glacial. I use the same USB build sticks to build many XO 1.5's, but on these particular two it takes close to an

The XO-1.5 does not overheat if used properly. The XO-1.5 has higher CPU performance than an XO-1, and also generates more heat than an XO-1. The heat is transfered through a heat spreader to the upper casing. The total heat generated is limited by the battery capacity. If the temperature excee

What happens if the XO's lid is closed after the shutdown option is selected in Sugar? Is there a chance that the XO does not shut down - e.g. suspends or gets stuck in some limbo state? Is there a possibility for them to get damaged? I'd think that a powered-on XO would get very hot if the lid w
