I, too, had problems with a flaky USB connection on my Vivante SE. The only USB device that worked was a Logitech Wheel Mouse. I was about to despair when I remembered that some folks make PCMCIA to USB converter cards. I bought one made by Hi-Val, plugged it in, and was up and running. I currently have a USB connection to an Intel AnyPoint home phoneline network, and the docking cradle for a Handspring Visor Deluxe running. Neither of these would work plugged into the SE's USB port, but when run through the PCMCIA - USB converter, they work like a charm.
