Hello,
i don't think this is the right way to test the Kama Connect 2 about crc errors and i tell you why:

If ViceVersa is a good and reliable application, the problem lies in the type of files the fsutil generates. Actually this windows utility will give you a file the size you want, but when you examine it in a binary editor, it is filled only with ZEROS as shown here:




Now it seems ( and i can assure you ) that even a defective Kama II unit will give you no crc errors with your test, as the data flow through the device is constant, no variation : only zeros! The chip used by the Kama II does not, in this case, have to handle any power, current or signal variation. How in this case would you have a crc error ?!

Plus, you never find or deal with such zero-filled files in real life, we deal with files with binaries like this one:




I confirmed what i'm saying here after having fully tested 2 Kama II units, one i bought and one from RMA. They never showed crc errors with zero-only-filled files, but they always showed what i describe here.

Been a long time i dont use this device, and if i post this today it is because while surfing the web today i visited sythe USA, and that reminded me of a question i had in mind a long time ago: why the Kama Connect 2 has never been put to the US market, you find only the Kama Connect (I) ?
