Uhmm, I haven't tested USB 3.0 yet, officially we don't support it, don't know how a USB 3.0 hub is suppossed to act in a 2.0 world.... But since a net6501 don't have USB 3.0 why use a USB 3.0 hub at all ? Or are you also adding a USB 3.0 controller board ? > Also, if I do get this working, is there a way to predict if the usb key > connected to the internal USB connector will be device 80 or 81, or > whether the externally connected usb hard disks will be devices 80 or > 81? I would like to predictably boot off of the internal USB key. The USB BIOS always scan in port sequence, the external port is before the internal, will update the manual soon with precise details. In the comBIOS you can do the > set bootdrive = xx xx xx xx to control the bootsequence. But after the operating systems take over things can get complicated with multiple USB devices....
