...on the side of THEC64/VIC20 are to close to each other, I sometime have a problem plugging in things that are to wide....  when they should fit, they do not have the same spacing as a 4 port USB Hub when they should, very odd. I am guessing thats RGL copied THEC64 Mini USB Ports spacing(thats wrong) and probably didn't notice the spacing or didn't have enough money to build it again(New USB Hub PCB) so just went with the spacing. |

I noticed to if I wiggle the USB stick or SD card Reader or knock it, it comes up with read errors as its loading PCUAE or when the carousel has loaded and I knock it by accident, it does it on my THEVIC20 and THEC64 Mini, very weird, I do not know why, it acting like its disconnected the USB stick for a second then reconnected it.
I do not know if it could be a ground thing but it does it on both machines and with any USB Device with PCUAE on, it could be because its uses a loop device, it mounts a loop and makes it from the USB drive so its partition, its so you can read the files in the USB Media Access in Classic Mode(Basic) so it frees up /mnt so it can see it, if the drive was knock would the loop disconnect...?
It not really a problem, its more annoying than anything cause when it does it I have to restart the machine.
I don't think it does it on THEA500 Mini.

I would just use a USB hub with it's own power supply. Less wear that way by not constantly connecting and removing USB devices and also solves the spacing issue.
