USB keyboard in hostmode?

Tue Aug 19 14:33:01 CEST 2008

I think the power supply isn't the problem because the mouse part works.
I could also press the function key (a special led indicates the
success) which sets the function keys to F1 - F12 and not to special
logitech functions. On the back of the keyboard the specification says
that it "only" needs 75mA current, which should be no problem at all.
I think i will try it with a normal usb keyboard at work.

Ciao,
