This subject is covered in the current issue of the Voice newsletter of the MacValley User Group, which ran an article about the various problems that can be caused by USB devices and inadequate hubs. All the group experts agreed that the best USB hub by far is the Per-Tech 7-Port Hubmaster, "...a solidly built, if extremely ugly*, piece of equipment, and is to USB hubs what Tripp-Lite is to power strips... I will speculate that the Per-Tech succeeds where others fail due to the fact that it's got a very large internal power supply to stabilize voltage on all devices..."
www.pertch.net There was also a recent story about Per-Tech at www.macintouch.com which led to a 4-fold increase in demand so "...please be patient... Quality can't be rushed!" Bruce Mitchell * "Per-Tech hubs remind us that beige can still be beautiful." on 8/2/03 11:13 AM, Greg Gilmore at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I need a USB hub with at least 4 ports to use with my G4/667 PowerBook/OS > 9.2.2. > > Any advice fellow-listers could give me on this purchase, e.g. best quality, > price, self- versus bus-powered, etc., would be greatly appreciated. > > gg > -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
