I tried again but with the same result - first time a blank grid, then
after that no output, just a blink. I then tried XLSX to PDF and that was
fine.

Thanks Harriet. I tried 15 other converters before asking - this one did
not turn up on a duckduckgo search before I gave up.

The page doesn't display well in Netsurf but the "Drop file here" box is
evident. It was a large (9MB) file and nothing appeared to happen. I had
nearly given up when Netsurf's download window appeared. Now down to 3656KB.

The download wes filetyped XML but has a /pdf name. But re-typing to pdf it
worked properly.

So yes, it works fine.

I tried this on two files. The first produced an XML file. I changed the
file type to MSexcel and !ViewXLS just produced a large grid with no
content. The other file produced no output at all.

I have this one bookmarked for XLSX to XLS, and it also seems to offer
'Word to PDF'.

https://convertstandard.com/word2pdf.aspx

Tested, and it works - with the proviso that the first time I tried to
open the resulting PDF I was asked for a (non-existing) password, but it
worked on the second attempt.

[A9home-list] USB HID Support

Hi,

Having an issue with my USB HID support not always loading during startup.
Sometimes have to reboot 2 or three times for it to load :(

USB startup routine is at !Boot.Choices.Users.single.boot.predesk.

Is this the same for everyone else. Just wondering if perhaps I should
move it to !Boot.Choices.Hardware.Disabled.Boot.PreDesk.
