USB is a "Funny" animal. However, when it works, it does seem to
work good on my computer. I have learned that it is sensitive to
the power supply on the other device - not sure what that is all
about yet.
What got me wanting another USB hub is that I am thinking about
making my machine all USB as opposed to normal Serial (Rs232). With
USB, I could run 1 USB cable to the hub, then, from the hub I could
add as many USB-Serial converters as I wanted. The little testing I
did last weekend worked pretty good so far.
