Fixed - damn odd one this

Problem traced to a faulty cable that was plugged into a totally
different USB port on the motherboard. I can only assume that all the
ports on the back of my computer share the same "internal" USB hub or
USB controller.



Yes, typically all USB ports share the same hardware interupt.

Well yes they do, but this wasn't an interupt problem.
