It doesn't cover for the new boxer chewing through the USB cable, out of boredom, whilst I was doing the installation. I knew it had to be something daft! - that's 24 hours that I could have been playing with the Empeg, so I'm not playing with the dogs 'till Sunday norning, as a punishment!

...thank goodness it wasn't the mains cable...and thanks, Tony, for your pointing it out - I can assure you that I didn't post, before checking the FAQ thoroughly.
