Thanks guys! :-)

I think I've isolated that particular USB issue, although fixing that one presents another, but the latter is less likely to be a problem.

I managed to get another 1.5hrs on M16 last night, but the seeing (and thus guiding) was terrible. RMS was frequently around 1"/px, same as the sampling rate. Interestingly enough, stacking those subs in didn't visually decrease sharpness.

I decided after imaging for 1.5hrs to try and gather some PE data, so I let that run for an hour only to realise I hadn't increased the PHD search area enough and it lost the star after less than one full worm cycle.

I think I'll try another night on M16 with some longer subs tonight and then move on to OIII.
