Many thanks to the two David's who replied to me. The command 'lsusb" I was not aware of, and with the '-v' switch, provides a mass of data (not sure what it all means) about the USB connected devices. This is the great thing about the Linux (especially Ubuntu) Community - the great sense of camerade and willing help that is shared around. I belong to a 'Mens Shed' and we have a computer club which at present is based on the 'dark' side. My aim is to convert as many as possible to the 'light' (Linux). To this end I am very much interested in what Paul Whipp is suggesting to promote Ubuntu - more strength to his elbow ! Many thanks again David Bowskill
