Gandalf_Sr:
I have a Logitech M185 mouse that works well but only on the front Type A USB port; has anyone made a mouse work from the rear Type B port?  I bought a B to A USB adapter and it didn't work with the Logitech dongle.

Isnt the rear one a "USB DEVICE Interface" ?
I guess it is not host, so it is used only to connect the oscope to your PC as a device.

That's correct - front USB A port is a USB host, meaning it can have devices plugged into it and control them as normal.  Rear USB B is USB device, meaning it can be plugged into a host for remote control of the scope.  If you need more USB A ports to connect additinal devices, use a hub connected to the front port.

I think you're right, not being a USB expert, the idea that it is only a 'device' totally escaped my feeble mind.  Anyway, the slight irritation is that, if the front USB port is used for a mouse dongle, then there's no USB port available to run a USB drive to save screen captures to - unless you run a hub.
Gandalf_Sr:
So, a hub seems like a good purchase.  Can anyone confirm what works with the MSO5000?  I think it's USB 2.0 and wondered if this one from Amazon would do?
