There were no devices in the front sockets in the tests, so yes.

I moved the keyboard to a hub on the back outside USB socket (the one
that doesn't work on boot-up) and USBkick does now kick the keyboard
into working.
But presumably, by putting USBkick into the boot sequence, I negate
(or even over negate?) the claimed speeded boot-up obtained by putting
USB2 into the ROM.
This whole USB farcical nonsence needs sorting out once and for all.
I went through all this nonsence when I first got my Iyonix, and it
was all sorted with RO 5.07 - 5.11. Now I find I'm having to go tho'
this whole farcical nonsense again, this time without success!
[Unless I now use a USB hub plus USBkick in my boot-up!].
Its all enough to make me want to go back to 5.11.
Let me know, Castle, when you've got it all sorted into a saleable
product! As it is, it is unfit for purpose sold!
