years back, several of my ee friends and i were sitting around one night
just after usb was first introduced, usb came up in discussions.
after a few had made comments about how great it would be and how much
could be run on it, i said, 'yeah, just like an expressway. it will be
great at night and between towns, but during rush hour, it will get
congested.'
your problem may well be because you have too much running under usb.
i have not looked at architecture of usb hardware or drivers, but i would
suggest that you do some separating of devices, especially if you have an
external hub connected, move ups to a controller where it will be by
itself.
Yes, I did that last night, and that problem was solved. So I have almost
everything working now except the html display in a browser.
hth.
Yes, we're almost on the same page now. ;-)
