I have some interesting USB connectivity issues. My Minolta/QMS 2300W really HATES being moved to another port. All the drivers reload themselves and then Windows XP gets all confused as to which is which and print jobs often go into limbo - really annoying. If I somehow mix up which of the 6 ports in back I once plugged it into, I purge all iterations and let it rediscover the one true instance. In addition, if I plug my MMC card reader in front port, I lose connectivity to same printer. Maybe bad drivers from Minolta, maybe crapping WinXP programming, maybe cheap-a$$ Dell computer. I dunno, but it sux.
Overall, I guess I'm bored with the multitude of interfaces, serial and parallel.
AGP, PCI, PATA, SATA, USCSI, Floppy, PS/2, Serial, Parallel, USB, FW,
I once had a system that was SCSI only. Hard Drive, Floppy, Scanner, Printer, and anything (SCSI) you wanted to attach. Keyboard was regular DIN-5 and Mouse was Serial, so not completely universal, but I still miss it.
Of course, original Apple Macintosh had that one universal port that KB, Mouse, Printer, Appletalk network, and everything else plugged into.
