Help! Tasc. 122 Fried My Usb Ports! Options

[Philryan]

I just bought the Tascame US-122 yesterday, and it was working fine - sort of. i figured out that i needed to add power to my USB hub, since it wasnt powered already. after i hooked up an AC adapter to it, my computer will no longer recognice any USB device, except the US-122! My oxygen 8 will no longer power up or be recognized by my computer. My USB hub powers up, and my mouse lights up, but the computer wont recognize either of them. What's worse, is that my compuiter will no longer recognize my logic xskey! i am running panther 10.3.2 on a titanium powerbook G4 550mhz with an external HD. all drivers for the devices are fully installed. any help is very much appreciated. thanks all....

I think philryan is referring to an external USB hub, not the powerbook's ports (correct me if i'm wrong...)

Assuming this is the case - what exactly are you trying to run through the hub? If the 122 is among the list, that might be messing you up. Outboard hubs are a no no with Tascam's interfaces - you need to plug the 122 directly into your mac. You should still be able to get away with running everything else through your hub via your powerbook's other USB port (as you probably did before getting the Tascam?)... sorry for all the assumptions
