    I fixed it for you.

    I might have to try that in my M18xR2. I've always wanted that to be bootable, but it was not with the single USB port card I bought ( like this one). Thanks for sharing this. Would be perfect for having a DOS bootable USB flash drive permanently installed inside of the chassis, which is what I was hoping to accomplish before... would be great for vBIOS flashing, etc.

    Yes this is what i wanted, a bootable usb flash drive with a live linux or a recovery like hirens or active boot disk, now with this one is posible. I remember that i read this from you posting it that was not bootable but to keep data was good, i bought the double micro sd, and saw this double usb and for 10 eu was not much to give it a try. And it worked. =)

    USB HID API
    There are two levels of APIs related to USB HID: the USB level and the operating system level. At the USB level, there is a protocol for devices to announce their capabilities and the operating system to parse the data it gets. The operating system then offers a higher-level view to applications, which do not need to include support for individual devices but for classes of devices.

    With the FE1.1s IC this one answer for a full readable usb hid. While the others, like the single usb, and the dual micro sd, just make for a supported usb port with no identification.
