end to boost power, which, by the way works great..... here's the
question: has anybody on the list tried using one of those "dual
USB connections" to provide extra power instead of the USB hub? you
know, like the usb cables you sometimes get when you buy a 2.5
external hard drive? to provide power to bigger hard drives
installed into that 2.5 USB enclosure? Jeff

Can you boot 9 on that machine. The USB cable idea will work but the
hub is the way to go put a 2.0 USB card in the MDD and the the hub.
That's how I do it.
