I'm very nervous about this. I have several disk enclosure boxes that flat out don't work on usb2 that work flawlessly on the current usb stack. I've not had time to totally characterize things. Also, the rate of patches into perforce seems high and good. However, they aren't making it into svn quickly. I'd rather see them in the tree and tested well in advance of making usb2 just usb. : > Let's not do this now though as we'll just wind up having to : > do it twice. Rest assured we will get to it shortly. : : Thanks Alfred. : Of course I knew it was about to become the default, but wasn't clear as : to what it would look like as the default. : : Like others, I tried to move to a machine to "hpsusb" and didn't find it : so turn-key. I've found that some things work a lot better, while others are a regression. When your object is to burn DVDs, it can be too large a detour to catalog all the problems that I've hit. I should start doing that, however, since it is clear things are moving ahead at breakneck speeds :( Warner
