I just had a USB device die on me :)
A USB SATA Harddrive Dock to be precise...
Not sure if it is related or not, could totally be just a coincidence.. I can see that it's now running USB/VID_0000&PID_0000\xxxx though...
although the dock seems to actually have 2 USB controllers, as only the hard drive portion has decided to become an "unknown device"... - "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
The "generic hub" USB\VID_058F&PID_6254 seems to be happily chugging along (Probably why I can still see the SD card reader part of device)...
If someone has knowingly put out software/drivers that they were aware would brick hardware, and may have done so on purpose, then I guess I'll be joining the class action lawsuit when it gets started?
I have another docking station somewhere.. not sure what chips are in it though... might not plug it into any windows machines until I know they won't try to break it...
Biting the hand that feeds IT
