USB connectors
Re: USB connectors
I have no issues with Big Sur & DM42 and the cable I mentioned 5 postings above. With other cables with shorter plug and less secure fit I had disconnects and hence FAT trouble on Mac and Windows.

Re: USB connectors
I'm investigating here, if the issues are with Big Sur or also with Parallels (to run Windows and Linux Virtual machine) that handles usb or other type.
Curiously, two times the FAT corruption was accessing the /State folder.

EDIT: ...or also the hardware of my MacBook Pro? or the calculator FW?

Re: USB connectors
Most stuff sold on Amazon is already out of spec, so why not offer some funky USB connectors, ha ha.
Re: USB connectors
The USB connector can be slightly modified, you can cut off 2-3 mm of insulation.

Re: USB connectors
Ah, so it seems to be the same design problem in the DM15L, the DM42 and the DM41.
It's indeed possible to cut out a part of the plastic on some connectors, I was lucky to find one for the DM15L. It's close, not perfect but OK enough when one does not use it too often.
