Not quite - a MS "design feature" is usually something that persistently stops you doing what is logical, or causes havoc to your work if you do what seems logical.
This kind of 'Design Feature' is something the spec says you can include, but don't have to - it just seemed logical to incorporate it at the design stage and, once you know about it, changes from a PITA to just a petty annoyance.

It notice the PC powering up, so won't raise that signal that tells the OS that it's there. (I've seen cameras, scanners and printers that had the same feature, didn't realise it was still being incorporated into USB 2 stuff) JimB. -- ---------------------------------------- ALL messages to the list MUST include a descriptive subject.
