Apologies if this isnt the right place, but it seems as good as any: I know VIA chipsets are preferred for USB in 4.1.1, but is this restricted ? In essence, I'm looking at USB 2.0* PCI cards, and there are some cheap ones in Maplin at the mo...
*yeah yeah I know only usb 1 is supported at the mo, but 2.0 will be soon wont it ?

Any chipset will do. For me being an SE Owner I can't use the VIA UHCI device at all - the machine hangs during startup if I leave it enabled in the Kicklayout. So I use a NEC 5 port PCI card, via ohci.usbhcd. This seems to be the type of card most people choose.
Also some things to add to the list that work with update 1 that didn't before.
Sigma KMS500 wireless Kbd/Mouse EMTEC 4Gb Memory stick CF-RS205 SD to USB adaptor.

Bostin'! hope Maplins still have that cheap card in the bargain bin I had me eye on...
Im using Logitech MX700 mouse/keyboard (wireless optical) since beginning of os4. Multimediakeys works with Deniils app Allkeys. Works both in usb port and in ps2 port.
Where did you find the name of your kbd/mouse kombo?
I have a wireless logitech kbd/mouse kombo. Usb and ps2 with a reciever. But no naming on either of them. And the box has probably been swedish toilet paper by now.

That cheapo card was still there, I've finally got round to installing it (I've had to ditch the floppy drive - I needed the external 3.5" bay) and it works lovely !
I've already tried these, and they work: Memory stick (Freecom 2GB), USB Player (IItronic 128MB), Logic3 5 axis 12 button flightstick.
Devices that DO NOT work: - Transcend JetFlash 4GB (gets recognized but the OS complains about "broken cluster geometry" - works fine on the PC, though)
I have a nice Corsair Voyager 4GB that does the same thing. Interestingly, it doesn't work under Mac OSX 10.3 either, but works under 10.4, and under XP and Ubuntu 9.10... Perhaps a clue is in that it shows up as a USB embedded hub first under XP, then as a mass storage device.
Edit: Meant to add that my Nikon D90 works just fine with PTP transfers (though AOS doesn't have a clue what to do with the RAW files once they're downloaded ), and my old Nikon D80 worked fine in Mass Storage mode, but that was under 4.0 and 4.1, so I assume it'll work with 4.1u1...
