Thanks to everyone that replied to my message. I decided to go ahead and buy a powered USB hub to see if it would work for what I had in mind. I bought a Belkin Lighted USB Hub and *it did work* without the power connected. I used the hub with three devices connected at the same time - a mouse, keyboard and flash drive. So now I have a USB hub that works either with the power connected or not connected with the devices I needed. :) Oh, I was using a Macbook Pro. I only tried with Windows XP, but I imagine the Mac OS wouldn't have any trouble. Thanks again for the helpful replies!
