hub. It works fine except that it hangs occasionally (can be reset by power-cycling). Most of these can be attributed to the crappy wall wart they call a power supply. If it's plugged into an UPS or replace it with your own DC power supply they generally hold up a lot better. I have a

blush I fried two P6 ASUS motherboards this way, sorta along these lines, "hmm, keyboard seems to be dead, maybe try it in this machine" We did the same thing on two Asus P6 MB as well! We replaced the fuse near the keyboard and both motherboards are working perfectly now. Tim To
