Glad you mentioned that. There's a seven port hub here which has duct tape stuck over one of its ports because that one port (and only that port) has given us intermittent troubles over several years. It's my guess that there's something marginal, rather than something like a dry soldered joint which in my experience will give progressively more trouble until at last it fails completely. The last thing you want in any computer system is something that's marginal, you'll never be able to figure out what's going on. I cut my design teeth on 74-series logic noise immunity in the 1970s. :/ -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
