Re: Argosy HD-363N

Speaking of USB2.0, has anyone exprienced the issues with large
transfers over USB2.0 halting mid-copy (always between files) with
either "the path is too deep" or "please insert a disk..." (disk letter
disappears)?  I have tried three different PCI-USB2.0 cards using two
different chipsets (ALi and NEC) and I have the same results when
copying MP3's to a compactflash card for use in my iPaq.  The integrated
USB 1.1 works slow, but flawlessly.

I've done some digging around and it seems its a windows USB driver
issue.  Just wondering if anyone has seen this with any USB2.0 attached
devices and has a solution.
