I was doing some testing today and had to re-arrange my USB hubs to put certain devices at the beginning of the chain. Hubs, you ask? Yes, I have 3 powered USB hubs and a ton of devices. Does it all work? For the most part, yes. I really wanted a 14-21 port hub and not have to chain hubs together, but I’ve been unable to find one, except for one that someone hacked together. Am I that unusual to have so many devices? OK, I may have a few more devices than most people, but aren’t people collecting more devices? Here’s my current list of what is plugged in:
- iPhone
- iPod Nano (2nd generation)
- Fujitsu ScanSnap
- DocketPORT 465 scanner
- NEAT Receipts scanner
- Playstation 2 headset (actually a Logitech headset)
- Garmin Forerunner 305
- DYMO LabelWriter 330
- Generic Flash Drive
- EVDO Rev. A modem
- EPSON CX9400
- Sewell DisplayLink
- MacAlly Keyboward
- Logitech Trackball
- UPEK Fingerprint scanner
- WiebeTech TrayDock
