You should be aware that OHCI is USB 1.1, and you can increase you transfer speeds by a factor of 20x or so by purchasing a cheap USB 2.0 PCI card.
Also, any ideas where I can get a DC5V power cord for a USB 4-Port Hub?
From Belkin website FAQ for F5U014-oe: It should come with a power supply. If the power supply was misplaced or lost you can use any power supply that is 5 Volts DC, 2.5 Amps and has a polarity of Center- pin-positive.
Note, the general rule of thumb is a maximum of 500mA per device, so you can multiply the # of ports by 500mA (.5A) each, and add a little for safety just-in-case. I assume your hub has 4 ports, so 4x500mA = 2A minimum, and they recommend 2.5A, so that's right.
It is a Belkin Model F5U014-OE
It appears this is a USB 1.1 device, so you'd also need a new USB 2.0 hub for higher speed operation. You can get USB 2.0 hubs practically free sometimes, I've seen goofy things made in China for a couple bucks. These are probably without external power availability, but they work for anything with its own power supply, as well as all low power devices.
