| Minipac, XP: USB Device not recognized |
| (1/4) > >> |

I recently finished wiring up my panel to a minipac encoder. I plugged the Happ trackball into the PS/2 mouse port and a standard keyboard into the proper PS/2 port, and then plugged the minipac, using the provided PS/2-to-USB cable, into a USB port on the PC running XP Pro. Unfortunately, I was then told the USB device was not recognized. This happened no matter which port I used. I made sure the jumpers on the minipac were set to ROM and USB. No dice. I even tried every other combination of jumper settings, just in case, but nothing would get it working. There was no feedback to the system at all and all I got from XP was that it was an unknown device. I even tried plugging it into a free port on my Win XP laptop and got the same problem. I'm at my wits end... any ideas on what the issue might be and how to correct it?? |

Don't know myself but why are you using USB if you have the trackball in the PS/2 mouse port anyway? Try it in PS/2 and see if it works at all then worry about USB. |

Does your i-PAC have a USB/PS2 jumper (the newer ones don't)? |

I'm using the USB because there's a spinner attached to the minipac. I read you have to use the USB connection if you're going with a spinner. It's a minipac, not an i-pac. There are two jumpers, one USB/PS2 and the other is ALT/ROM. It's a fresh XP Pro installation. |

I just fired off an e-mail to Andy about it as well. I assume that the minipac is supposed to show up in XP as a keyboard or something... |
