If you read the previous thread, I stated that "I" had an issue with the unit not responding. The way "I" got it to function was by connecting the USB after I had powered the PC up. As to the reason why; it works that way for me. As to the technical reason you would have to contact Tascam support and ask them. If you have the problem of it not working with your application, try what I indicated - I don't know the reason why I have to do it that way. In any case, it should not work that way unless there is specific instructions by the manufacture that state to do it that way . . . They did not indicate that.

Unfortunately no, the USB plug is how the speakers get power, so it would need to be plugged in, in order for the speakers to be turned on.

Yes. 2 USB at the same time and in addition another AC plug. All will power simultaneously.

To copy a hard drive to 2 computers at the same time. When using the cable only 1 USB cable needs to be plugged in to use it.

In my case, it's plug &play. I suggest you proceed via My files and tap on the usb drive. Good luck.

The USB cable was in the package but not the power supply, I adapted a cable that I had taken from an old power supply

I have all sorts of things plugged into it. I see no reason that you can't plug in a desktop into it

It does require one plug into the power supply, as well the plug into the motherboard.

Make sure all the necessary power cables are plugged in, but most likely is a problem with your motherboard.

This is powered by the a/c adapter, not the USB. I think it may know when to turn off and on because its hooked up to the computer. When the computer is on, it is on, and vice versa.

The cable you see in the picture. Your power supply (inside the computer) should have some extra plugs.

No. You need to connect a usb cable to this and your pc. It doesn't come with a built in USB connector plug like the other newer ones. Once connected it works the same as the rest of them.

It has to get it from the USB because there is no other power supply directly going into it, why is this question even being asked?
