My fix was downgrading to a much older firmware on the reader and staying with it for over a year.

The warning is valid since it seems to affect people and readers randomly. Just because it hasn't affected you doesn't mean there isn't a problem.
Once of the machines I've used with my H2O has been an AMD 64-bit Windows 7 system. And again, I'll say there's been no issue connecting it the computer via USB.
