It is compatible with Mac IS 9.2, OS X version 10 or any of the later versions. It is also compatible with Windows based computers.

Priced at only $35, this Kensington product is a consumer favorite. It has a unique round design that makes it easier to connect multiple devices and its weight guarantees stability. Entrega MAC-HUB-7U 7-Port USB HUB (Mac) This USB hub for Macintosh computers is the costliest and also the most efficient of the lot.

I have several of these D-Link 7 port hubs that also work great. I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth. In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus. Place your vote for our Member of the Month |

Regarding the d-link usb hubs, I saw that they actually plug in for a power source. Have you had any problems with it running on a/c power and affecting the computer in anyway such as the computer not sleeping or anything like that? Does the d-link always stay on unless unplugged or does it turn off after like 30 minutes in no activity is running through the hub? Anything else you can think that maybe I should know? Thanks. |
