P3 - SVGA Save/Restore State via USB Working

[Ken Widelitz]

I have no idea why it didn't work before, but the SVGASET.SAV file was saved
to the USB Thumb Drive about the 10th time I tried. It restored to my other
P3 perfectly and now the USB switch is working also. Maybe I didn't have the
cables plugged in all the way, although the P3 recognized the USB devices
before and the USB switch LED indicators came on before. In any event, I am
a happy camper and will be even happier when P3 commands can be used with
the next firmware release.

I too am looking forward to the next release of P3 software, and hoping
it contains the changes which allow P3 macros to be sent to the P3, via
the P3 USB port.

Hi Ken,

I am not familiar with the USB switch but if it is electronic and not mechanical there could be an issue since the SVGA USB port is limited as to what it can support.  For example it does not support a hub or really anything except a USB thumb drive and/or keyboard.
