Hi,

I'm confusin about the idea that an option keyboard or mouse should be works on the ameo, i have read serveral post that the 4 and 1 cable should work fine to connect these options, even a usb memory key should work,
i have now a cable mini usb to female usb it means i can use the (charge/sync) connection for usb, but i have tried many thinks, like reset device connect keyboard e.t. none of this will work :confused: .
Does it means that only the 4 and 1 cable (from expansys) will work :confused:
USB is usb i supose.

cheers

Hi there

the reason is that you try to connect to the mini USB port and this is not supporting host functions... the 4in1 cable connects to the other connector, the one that share the USB host and Video out and there you'll have the expected USB foncionality...

Damnit! I installed this hoping it would make Bluetooth mice work. It didn't.

WM5 really is badly implemented. I have a bluetooth mouse on my devices. It has a picture of a mouse. It clearly responds a little. WHY IS THERE NO POINTER.

ThinkOutside's driver wanted to disable built-in HID drivers. I didn't trust it. BlueMouse doesn't work and is overpriced.

Bluemouse really works!

I bought 3 BT mice before I found out the one that works, which is actually cheaper than the high end ones I bought initially:( Just go for the Targus AMB02 Rechargeable bluetooth notebook mouse. Those in the Nederlands can find some at the Correct Business Centre department.
