Hi All,

I've got problems with devices sharing unpowered hubs as i'm up to 11 devices so far with one to be added soon.

I've had an idea, has anyone tried to power a hub from one of the spare harddisk/Cdrom power connectors? as one of these is 5V I think, it would also need to be extended and a different plug or hard wired into the hub.

I might try it over the weekend.

Just some food for thought......

Paul
