I believe it has to do with the way it is handled. Inside of it, the USB root hub will see 8 different devices, corresponding to all the different types of removable media there is. (When you plug it in while in Windows, you may notice that 6-8 new drives will appear in "My Computer".) I'm guessing that it can confuse the BIOS if the media you're using is like drive #4 instead of #1. It's possible not all BIOS sees past the first 1-2. I'm going to test this when I get a chance. The bootable one I've been using is drive #1 when plugging it into Windows. We'll see what happens when I use a SD card instead (drive #4). -- Peace. ~G On Tue, 31 Aug 2004 14:08:52 +0300, Yaakov Yehudi <yehudi () tehila gov il> wrote:
Why is the 8-in-1 less suitable, in your opinion? I'm sure that I can't think of a good reason. YYHello, I don't know any BIOSes able to boot on a 8-in-1 card reader. USB flash disk is more suitable. Regards, _______________________________ Arnaud Jacques Consultant Sécurité Securiteinfo.com
