In pure economic terms I agree a simple h/w solution is worth less
than the time to troubleshoot the problem. However this is annoying
me *so much*, that I want this bug dead! :)
In fact I'd happily polish up on C/C++ to fix the damn thing myself if
anyone was willing to help me with it!

There are two USB headers on the front, but anything plugged into the
front of my pc quickly gets unplugged and chewed on by my son - this
is probably sub-optimal
