[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1652695, member: 175845"] Nick has provided a solution, but I would also add and consider using a powered hub and preferably one that distributes any needed power requirements properly and as needed. And unless the manufacturer of the USB device says NOT to use a hub with a Mac, and even though they often say not to use a hub, that is usually due to the fact that the Windows OS often does not like or work well with hubs. Macs have most USB compatibility built-in since OS 9!!! So, if you have a USB hub and need a port for your USB device, I'd just plug it in and it will probably work just fine. ;) [/QUOTE]
