Yep, hubs don't care what kind of computer you have. They don't require drivers, unless they happen to be a hub combined with something else, like a camera memory card reader, keyboard with extra shortcut buttons, etc. If you have a free drive bay, and a USB card with an internal port, you might want to look at an internal hub that takes up a drive bay. I would you think you could get powered ones, that draw their power from a spare drive power cable, but I don't know for sure. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
