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
Thanks, Kurt. I'll probably purchase one. -- Joe --- On Thu, 7/29/10, Canopus56 <canopus56@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Canopus56 <canopus56@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Another fried electronics story and powered USB buffers To: "Utah Astronomy List Serv" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Date: Thursday, July 29, 2010, 9:04 AM Joe wrote:

This is good advice. I use a seperately-powered hub at home; have been for years due to overload concerns. If and when I decide to take a computer into the field, would definitely do it for a laptop, as well. On 7/29/10, Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> wrote:
