I bought three of these when Deal Mac listed them as available from mumble-mumble for something under $10 each and have found them to work very very well. <http://www.ebay.com/itm/magicJack-4-port-Powered-USB-Hub-w-2-000mA- power-supply-/360389962173?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53e8ea69bd> I think that price is too high. Here's another listing, but it doesn't seem to include the AC adapter: <http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-USB-2-0-External-Powered-4-Port-USB- HUB-/350421364816?pt=US_USB_Cables_Hubs_Adapters&hash=item5196bdb050> I can't swear that those have the same guts as mine, but they look exactly like them. It might be worth browsing the Ebay category, because as recently as a year ago, some of the Hong Kong sellers had them with AC adapters for about $6. Ah, here we go, $7 at PC Micro Store back in July 2007. So, I've been using them since then: <http://dealmac.com/deals/Young-Micro-4-Port-USB-2.0-Mini-Hub-for-7- shipped-updated-/179546.html> Might try searching Ebay on YM-HUB-4U2A-S Jeff Walther -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
