Hi Jake, My USB drives work on the various ports and I'm running other USB devices on the various (6) USB ports, e.g.. Web Cam, mouse, scanner, headphones (HP ones which have an very cool additional bass capacity utilising power from the USB port) and these all work...except for this device.
I started out trying it in the USB hub. I've tried it directly plugged-in in the front and back ports, but nada. Annoying. Thanks for the suggestions though and for taking time out on Boxing Day to answer my post. Very kind.
