It's possible that your device has to be used with a powered USB hub, in which case it won't work with your keyboard. Is the hub you have powered? You could try it in a port on it too. rob On Jun 30, 2006, at 1:35 PM, Leith Peterson wrote: Thanks Tee and Eric: Eric: I tried plugging it directly into the computer and it did work. So does that mean the problem is with my keyboard? This is with the used G4 desktop. Do you mean I will have this problem regardless of what removeable devices I use? Or is there a device that you know will work with a usb hub? Please advise. Thanks.
