- most excellent! now to do more experimenting with various hardware?

:-)

- btw, i wish there was some way to collect a repository of working devices... it would be easy to gauge non-hub requirements based on voltage requirements of individual devices, but few manufacturers put that type of information on consumer packaging...

- when i use a powered hub, i've found that i must use this approach:

1. attach power supply to hub
2. then attach to IT via USB
3. wait for hub message, and then
4. plug in the device (such as USB hard drive)

- digital camera support may be more hit-or-miss... while my cheap Sony worked [i.e., mounted] with no problem, my Canon A570IS did not... (but then again, the Canon support was also squirrely under on my older Ubuntu boxen)
