I just find it hard to buy that the problem is on Intel’s side. A&H has to accommodate this “non-standard” implementation. Intel has a huge market share which effectively makes their USB implementation a “standard.” A&H needs to get in line with all the other vendors who have to deal with the same issues and fix this so it works properly.
Don’t get me wrong, I really love these boards, but as others have said, this USB issue really is a big problem.
