    USBExpansion troubles.

    Hello!

    I realy cant get my USBExpansion to work properly.

    When i have the cards connected to each other (USB Exp. MC, Display II), i hear the "Ding dong" from the computer, stating found new hardware etc, drivers installed etc. No problems with installing the drivers.
    BUT after like 15seconds or less after the initial Ding Dong i hear the usb disconnect Ding dong sound, and the device dissapears from both SIOC and the device manager in windows.

    It keeps on doing this every time i reset the card. What shall i do? Im completely lost.

    Im using Vista ultimate 64bit. SIOC 3.5. usb 2.0 ports, dont have any 1.1.

    Please help me to get going on my cockpit build.

    I am sure this is a misprint but, 1.1 or 2.0 hub? You say 2.0 in your OP. Have you tried changing USB slots or plugging directly into the computer? Are you using a USB extension? Sometimes they can interfere.

    I feel you pain on the USB. I am having problems too. different kind.

    Keep with it, sooner or later (properly later) you will get it working.

    Yepp, the hub is old Usb 1.1, the mainboard on the computer doesnt have 1.1 only Usb 2.0. I've tried conencting directly etc, and also tried through a USB 2.0 Hub. Every way i have tried

    Well well, i think im having some hardware issues with the usb exp. card, weird voltages on wrong places, been going up and down on the circuit board with my thrusted Multimeter...

    I think i'll buy a new card already assembled.

    Best regards!

    As I have just suggested in another thread, try external power to the cards (especially the Mastercard) and then measure the voltage between the bottom-left and top-right of each IC (after double-checking the orientation of each IC). That was my problem initially with the mastercard (but I'm not using vista though).

    Ok, i've checked every IC, they all have 5v.
    Though when i now connected the external power to the USB Expansion board. It wont start again.Guess somethings gone bad. =)

    Well well, i've had this card for almost 2 years now so i'll order a pre-assembled one and we'll see what happends.

    I am not sure you are supposed to put 5 VDC to the expansion card? Display card, yes. USB expansion?????

    You have added external power to the hub?
    Have you updated the USB drivers for the motherboard?
    Have you updated the Windows drivers for USB?
    Did you re-boot after updating each of the above listed?
    Did you make faces at it that indicates you might drop it in a box of Mac parts if it fails to behave?
