I'm not a USB wiz. I don't see anything wrong with ACID. Just like Window's and Mac's every time you move or add a USB device it adds a new port. Just Google "windows 7 release unused com ports." Most software allows you change the what ports the USB device is on. You can under ACID. Just change the all the files need to make the change. Remember that ACID is a command line only OS. So there is no GUI and mouse to click away at. I don't like to edit files or move the URI's around. Now to think about it. I have my node up for two years with the same 2 URI's. I never needed to change or move USB ports for the URI or edit the files. I guess they made ACID to be a install and forgot about it after you configure it.

This is something that has puzzled me for a while, since sometimes I see this behavior and other times I don't. I already know that individual USB devices can be uniquely identified, as demonstrated on my work computer where each time I plug in a different serial USB device it creates yet another Com port. I think I'm up to Com 77 after testing that many devices for work!
But you're saying that the specific USB connector port on the computer also has a unique identity? That can really hamper operations in some (many?) cases if so.
At the very least there should be means simply to detect the USB device and forge ahead regardless of which port it is plugged into.

Sent: Tuesday, 18 October, 2011 22:36Hello Bob, Do you get the error without the DMK URI? Also you need to use the same USB port that you used at install. If you move the URI to a different USB ports you will get errors.

After one week of satisfactory operation, my Allstar node (27890) has the following error:
"USB 4-1 usbfs: 27618 (asterisks) did not claim interface 3 before use"
Error code 1, then the computer reboots its self. The five digit number changes, but the problem just keeps repeating. The only USB device connected is the DMK URI (9080).
Cause of the problem? How to fix the it? Thanks in advance for any help.
