Tricky-Ricky Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Its just a case of compatibility, only certain converters work with EMB there was a list of them on Mhodparts website, but it doesn't exist anymore, all i can suggest is to try another type/make.

Lazarus Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) Try this place... http://www.giff-tech.co.uk/ Their ebay shop has 100% feedback but you have to go to the website for the usb, they appear to be based in the UK but advertize to the US only it appears, might be wrong on that tho. If you go for it, give us some feedback on the usb, I'm guessing a few people would be interested. Meant to say their ebay name is velocetterider on ebay.com not ebay.co.uk .... also just noticed that both you and them are in Wales Edited May 19, 2009 by Lazarus more info (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 never looked into it, for some reason I have two of them! Are you talking about a standard usb to standard usb? Cause I was also under the impression there was a problem with that. Might it be an issue with usb1.0/usb2.0 tho? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
