EP 1 is host -> device. EP 2 is device -> host. So the host sends requests but the device never answers, probably due to the wMaxPacketSize mismatch, macos being confused and sending broken requests ... > Can this also explain that other (non-mass-storage) devices cannot be > passed through successfully ? Yes, you can have simliar issues with other devices. Devices can have different interface descriptors for different device speeds. This can be rather small differences like the wMacPacketSize for usb sticks. The descriptors can be identical. Or there can be large differences, like usb-audio devices offering more channels when plugged into a usb2 port (with enough bandwidth for that). Problem is when the device is plugged into a usb2 port you can't query the usb1 descriptors. So qemu presents the wrong descriptors to the guest in case host and guest use different usb speeds. That may or may not work ... The other way around is less problematic, when plugging a usb2 device into a usb3-capable (xhci) port I can tell the guest "this is a usb2 device". But reporting "this is a usb2 device" via ohci isn't going to fly for obvious reasons ... take care, Gerd
