Humm, now that is one item I didn't check out, thanks. I do know that if I plug in a usb hub, it gets slightly worse, and if I plug a 64 meg usb key into that, its completely useless for emc stuff. We ought to make up a wiki page with some of this info. I wonder if that's on in my bios, and will a usb mouse work without it... I'll have to check that on the next power failure. >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Gene Heskett [mailto:gene.hesk...@gmail.com] >> Sent: den 26 april 2009 19:51 >> To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) >> Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Switching to Vesa Driver >> >> On Sunday 26 April 2009, Rainer Schmidt wrote: >> >Friggin UPS...
