Well I have done some more testing tonight and found the following 
strange behaviour.

I have removed from my Choices.Boot.Predesk the following items:

LoadUSB2 - my previous purchased copy of USB2
Interim - some old files supplied at various software updates

Start the scanner and wait until the light is steady and plug it in to 
the Front Bottom USB socket. It is recognised in USBInfo and I can use 
the scanner.

Reboot the Iyonix and re-insert the scanner into the Front Top USB 
port. It is not recognised in USBInfo. Use USBKick and it now appears 
but on trying to scan I get a USB I/O transfer failure.

Reboot the Iyonix and then plug in my external USB2 hub with Card 
reader attached into the Front Top USB socket. The Hub is recognised 
in USBInfo but no Card reader appears. Using USBKick establishes the 
Card reader. Plug the scanner into one of the ports on the external 
USB hub and it appears in USBInfo and I can scan.

Reboot the Iyonix. Insert external USB hub into Front Bottom socket 
and HIB and Card reader appear.

All the above seem to be consistant results on trying it at least 3 
times per scenario.

From the above it seems that there is something strange going on with 
the Front Top USB port.

I have sent the information to John/Castle
