I had asked about how to power a Unbranded (Best Buy) Windows 8.1 tablet while using the one micro USB for data as well as charging. I received several good suggestions but have found another solution.
I bought a DIgi Anywhere USB/5, which allows connecting to 5 USB ports over Ethernet. It won't remote things such as sound cards but I was interested in serial ports which it does well. The tablet is therefore powered using the micro USB port and connectivity is via my local network using the tablets built in wireless to get to the serial adapters via this new device. Buying one of these thing new would be price prohibitive, but one was found on eBay (sans power supply) for a 'good price'. Mark.
