Yes, true, and that's what I thought was meant by 'composite USB', able to Host and Slave in the same box, but not at the same time.
And yes, I can connect the box's internal hard drive to the PC thru the USB (thumbdrive port is dead, hard drive is slave)...and I can connect the thumbdrive to the PC thru the USB connections (hard drive port must act as a signal pass thru to the thumbdrive port or something, not sure)...and I can connect the thumbdrive to the hard drive by plugging it in (the PC port is dead, hard drive is master, thumbdrive port is slave).
I just can't do any combination of any of the three at any one time.
