OK. I forgot to mention that this USB controller is a PCI card Ali chipset USB controller. 6 port 3 front/3back. The front ports are what are giving me problems with the zip drive. I am receiving the "USB disconnect" message when using the back ports. I ran a test, plugging my Lexar USB 2.0 multi-card reader into the three front ports and all three gave me the "USB disconnect" message when I unplugged it. Using the back port(s) is not very convenient because of my computer placement. Is it safe to plug/unplug a device from the "D" shaped end of the cable? Leaving the cable plugged into the port and just unplugging the device. I have extra cables which would allow me to do this. > > > Another detail that may help.

I tried that and it didn't make any difference. Is the effect permanent or does it change after a reboot? Thanks again for all your time and help.
