Collection key vs Q2E44 (and Q3A41?)

[Martin Langhoff]

Hi Mitch,

wasn't aware you were on vacation.

Techteam - I am hoping for independent confirmation -- the USB disks
on my bench are pretty shit.

Can anyone with a "known to behave well" usb get a collection key to
work on XO-1.5 or on XO-1+Q2E44?

cheers,
