Hi Michael. I use a hub with AC power and have no problems at all. Join Lorie and I on www.interactive.acbradio.org for the Folk connection Saturdays from 18 to 20 GMT. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Massey Sent: Friday, January 13, 2006 8:02 AM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Unable to Update bookport firmware Hi, Larry and anyone else who cares, smile. Unfortunately, I am unable to get the book port firmware to update and I think I know why. Yes, I am a beta tester so that one is out of the way. However, I have heard comments to the effect that if a hub is connected to the USB port that the book port's transfer will not launch properly. Do I really have to go to the trouble of disconnecting the hub just to connect the book port to the USB port and then try to download the firmware? If that is indeed the case, will APH be able to resolve this somewhat inconvenient problem in the future? All I have gotten are various errors which I can't remember and other times the transfer software just plain won't launch. Please, help. Michael Massey
