Power tip specs for the FitPC2 are below. I don't think the barrel size changed for the 2i, just the fact that it now has a screw hole. For our systems, we just cut the tip off the adapter that comes with the fit pc since we wire them all to dc power anyway and don't need the AC adapter. Works great...

I'll look into both those issues. I don't suppose anyone knows a way to tell which device are pulling power and how much? I guess I could measure the power being pulled from a usb hub after I attach each device. anything easier than that. I should take back my previous statement that 0/4 machines wa...

Is there a recommended max power load to draw from all the USB ports? I just built a 4th fit-pc from scratch, other than a few additional drivers, there was nothing running on it at all, it was just sitting there, completely new, clean install of XP sp3 and the newest fitpc drivers and I just got th...

Sorry to be unclear, I wasn't referring to issues with a hub but to your previous comment: If the system draws power through USB this might also be a source to instability. In that case consider a powered hub I was wondering if you could expand on that. Does this mean that if I am using all USB port...

I have 3 fit-pc2's and on all of them the front left USB port does not appear to work. Is this a known issue? Are other people having this problem? Is there anything I can do to fix it? All machines are currently in use so it isn't that easy to send them back.

Thanks,

As I mentioned previously, I originally thought it was a hardware issue but I am having the same issues on a 2nd fit-pc2, so unless it is a problem with the hard drive I swapped between the two machines, it seems like it is a software issue. Can you speak to the issue of powered usb causing hardware...

Good suggestion. I don't think it is heat related because I've been having these problems from the start, even when the system was just sitting on a desk doing nothing. It just hasn't been stable. It seemed to happen more when I was doing big copy operations but that's definitely not the sole cause....

Thanks for the tips. I have noticed it often seems to crash when I'm performing long disk operations like copying or backing up 20GB of image files. To reduce potential issues with system resources, I removed Norton anti-virus and replaced it with Avast which seems to be a lot more low key and less ...

Hi, I have a fit-pc2 (xp, headless, with auto-on) that runs a gigapixel timelapse camera system we have developed (http://www.gigavision.org). I've been having an ongoing problem where it crashes catastrophically and then reboots with the "windows recovered from a serious error" message. I had thoug...

There's a catch to all this which is that the Fit-pc2 I cloning has a 160Gb hard drive and the new one has a 80GB SSD. Of course the OS and our system take way less than 80GB but I haven't come across an easy way to downsize an existing partition and drop it onto a different sized disk. Some backup ...
