[QUOTE="Tempest, post: 373949, member: 29876"] Errrrr, thanks, but not quite sure if I understand what you are saying. If the USB ports on the keyboard are only USB1, then that would just make it slower no? I just did another test, and plugged my Microsoft Optical Mouse (red LED underneath) into the USB port on the keyboard, as I figured that would need a lot more power to work than a tiny SD Card, and guess what. The mouse works perfectly. The memory card also works when plugged into the USB port on the side of the machine (as you said it would) Still don't understand why the memory car reader won't work at all via the keyboard?
