well, the IR tower is fired when I tested out with different powered hubs. • I
used 2.0 powered hub, the same symptom occured... the OS crashed in the
identical fashion.  When I used 1.0 powered hub, the tower mysterably • ceased

would have to order a new one!?

So, hope Bob has better luck!

download all the drivers for win2k you need from the Toshiba website prior
to doing this - for the restore CD does not have ALL drivers you need).  It
took about 2 hours from start to finish to install Win2k, install all
drivers, and go to Windows Update and get all needed service packs, but the
results is: MY USB IR TOWER WORKS!!!!!!!
