It sounds like you have (or had) the floppy drive cable plugged in backwards (at either the floppy drive or SuperCard Pro). That typically destroys Huey (and sometimes Duey), but does not affect the USB. That is an isolated system. If the green LED next to the USB connector lights up, then the USB connection is active and working. You might try another USB cable or port.
I hand assemble, program, and test every single board before it goes out so I know they all work. It's likely that you will need to return your board for repair.
What floppy drive and cable are you using?
I have ordered a new one.
The standard, notched IBM PC cable. 100% certain it was not plugged in backwards. The notch prevents it from happening on both ends (of cable) and the drive end port cover too.
*update*
The USB light is on today! I am using the same cable. I don't get it. I did nothing different. Huey chip is still cool.
I will power the floppy from an external source just to put less strain on circuits and see if it works today.
Oh well, least I have a spare card and it gives you some extra $$$ to keep making awesome gear.
Fingers Crossed! thanks Jim.
