USB1.1 (low speed) devices (TomTom) with VBox 3.2.x

[ingo2]

I am picking up one post from me made earlier in a different thread: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=31800.

Short description:
Host: Lucid-amd64, guest: WinXP-SP3, application: TomTom HOME. navi: TomTom XL30 series, USB-low-speed, VBox 3.2.x

This device is recognised well within the guest and all works fine, as long as I do not have to copy larges files (> 100MB, smaller files work) to it, i.e. when I want to update a map. First it takes an eternity due to the snail slow USB1.1 rates of only 600kB/s. At a certain point all activity of the guest system stops (no HD, no USB, no network activities) and an I/O error is thrown out and the device is dead. At this point some 100MB (of a 500MB file) have been copied to the box. Also manual copy from within the WinXPguest to the navi fail the same way.

I did try to copy even larger files (1.5GB) manually to an USB-stick from same VM and all is fine. However my USB-sticks are all USB2.0 and I cannot test USB1.1 funcionality with any other device - the navi is the only 1.1 device I have available.

I do not want to assign this to VBox, it may be as well WinXP and its USB-drivers as the TomTom stuff.
My only way to finalize this map-update is to transfer the map-files by shared folder to the Linux host and then copy them manually on the TomTom under Linux.

Has anybody found a better solution or even better the root cause?

With best regards,
Ingo

did you try with uncheck "USB-2.0 support" in the guests USB settings?

That me came up too, but I didn't try right now, because I need my navi soon for a longer trip and do not want to scramble it right now.

Thanks for that proposal, maybe it's actually the WinXP driver,
