Trouble with USB

[mekemesh]

Hi,

I recieved my new USB 2.0 cable with ferrite cores in both ends today. However my problem still persists.

Booting up windows with TI on and using the new cable gives me unknown device in device manager. When updating the drivers manually, choose from a list it finds Virus TI USB 2.9.66. but with error message code 10 "Device cannot start". I used the new cable on my old printer and it works perfectly so it is not anything wrong with it. When I tried my TI with the older printer cable it works perfect again.

I cannot understand why the new cable dont work because the specifications is identical to the older USB printer cable. Maybe it is a difference after all regarding voltage or something? I am lost.

I dont know how to proceed from now, if I should go for an external hub. And I dont know what kind of hub I should buy. There are hubs with seperate power or powered from the USB port. I have read at virus.info that a Belkin 7 port hub with MTT support (multiple transaction translator) is a good choice. My concern is, will this make a difference regarding my TI?

Best regards,
Mekemesh
