Very interesting, Kurt. Does the mini-hub have a separate power supply? Thanks, Joe

Yes. I not near my gear right now, so I cannot look up the specific brand and model that I bought. I just went to the Best Buy and Office Max on 21st and 300 West and looked on the shelves until I found a mini-hub that also had an AC-to-DC power adapter in the box. It was about $15. Must USB mini hubs are port - not external powered. Just look at the packing closely. - Kurt
