How about just putting a (500ma is max USB2) PTC Resettable Fuse on the 5V powerline?? Wouldn't this be an over good solution? Would it heat up and trip if 5V is coming at it from both directions? If so great, a simple cheap (less than a dollar solution). -- Thanks, Joseph Smith Set-Top-Linux

How much is it? Depends on the quantity, as usual. A store in Berlin sells one type of the PLCC plugs (wrong type for PCB mounting though) for 15 EUR. http://www.segor.de/bilder/66d5.jpg I would only want 2 of these for myself so it may not be worth your effort. If not I may just get
