Mobility Site - View Single Post - Upgraded Axim & ActiveSync looses connection

Folks, It is not a program or SD or CF card issue.
Let me explain.
I have had my Axim Since Feb 03, After AS3.5 I had no problems.
I was Using a KT400 Chipset with USB 2.0. I then recieved the WM2003 upgrade, Installed. It worked perfectly after setting the option in Active Sync.
Now here is where it get's kooky. I purchased a Nforce2 Ultra Mainboard, and poof, Problem staying synced. Tried everything, slowed the USB down, check power levels, talked to Dell. (Their answer was a Defective Axim). Yea Right. Tried Hubs, tried different OPTI Usb Controllers. Finally the Nforce board was just plain Quirky, and I went back to PPC2002. Still the Axim would just go Nuts, and lose Sync. ARRRGH!
Finally I had had enough, so, I purchased a VIA KT600 Mainboard and if I will be Damned, it Stays Rock Stable. So, I loaded Wm2003 back on. And Dirt Stable. 3 Day's in a row, it has stayed synced up. Now I do not know exactly why? this is. ONE it is either a USB driver issue in Active Sync, OR it is Something in Anything other than the VIA controller executing a Quit command.
Either Way, the Transfer rate is just as high as the Nvidia solution, or the Opti solution. But, All the bugs are gone. Anyone else care to elaborate on what they have as a USB Controller, What is syncing and what is losing sync? Hope that helps some of you.
