It is possible to have multiple USB devices active at the same time. I 
have played my USB radio, while synching my USB Visor and accessing my 
USB Zip drive all at the same time. Is it possible that  there is some 
conflict between the specific devices that you are trying to use at the 
same time?

[newbie] two usb devices: conflict?

[s]

Hi all,
I experienced a little inconvenience yesterday, when I noticed my scanner was 
no longer recognized since adding a usb joystick last week.   Well, it turns 
out that this particular joystick will function hooked up the gameport when 
my other wouldn't (but what if it didn't?).  So I talked the scanner into 
coming back (wasn't easy).  But the problem isn't fixed, just worked around.

What I'm wondering is it possible to have two usb devices function at the 
same time?  Surely.  If so, just curious, what do you suppose was the problem 
with the joystick and the scanner?   Makes one think some kind of conflict, 
but rooting around in the /proc/bus/usb directory is a humbling experience.  
:-)

Thanks in advance as always,
