You haven't provided data for the requested test.
Maybe you could investigate yourself in a way that you find more reliable.

That's not to say there isn't an issue here (there may well be), but
you need to prove this with a test that looks at the quantity of data

Thanks for your input. USB VGA and USB storage devices do not draw

I think this might be the same issue, if not, please forgive:
On all of our deployed XO 1.0 machines, immediately after reflashing, we
run one of Mavrothal's scripts that pretty much removes everything from that
directory on the XO 1's. The script saves one file only: USB8388.bin If

Oops bad cut and paste of the code below ... better to just go look at his
script. Line 5 should say run not pristine. :-)
