Hi all, first message to the list. :-) I've got an iBox made by iDowell:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/TR423ZM/A This seems to be similar to the smaller Microdowell UPS: http://idowell.eu/ I cannot get it recognised by the drivers. This is what I get when I plug in the USB connector: Jan 3 19:27:26 compaq kernel: usb 3-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 47 Jan 3 19:27:26 compaq kernel: usb 3-2: New USB device found, idVendor=075d, idProduct=0300 Jan 3 19:27:26 compaq kernel: usb 3-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=1, SerialNumber=2 Jan 3 19:27:26 compaq kernel: usb 3-2: Product: iBox Jan 3 19:27:26 compaq kernel: usb 3-2: Manufacturer: iDowell Jan 3 19:27:26 compaq kernel: usb 3-2: SerialNumber: 00000001 Jan 3 19:27:26 compaq kernel: generic-usb 0003:075D:0300.00CA: hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Device [iDowell iBox] on usb-0000:00:1d.1-2/input0 Jan 3 19:27:42 compaq kernel: usb 3-2: USB disconnect, address 47 The device keeps disconnecting and reconnecting with a higher numerical address each time.
