Tom,

Until Jean reminded me that the six thumbdrives he had plugged in to his
hub was when it didn't have any power supplying the hub, I hadn't
thought about it.

I just have six thumbdrives too, but I got a USB 3-1.2" Floppy Drive I
could put in the Seventh port on my 7 port hub.

I will have to try seeing if I can get a disk to read with 6 thumbdrives
and the FDD all plugged in to the hub with the power plug disconnected.

Another Project, That is all I really need now.

Between learning how SemPoint works and switching over to the Capital
City Online BBS and other things, I have been running around in circles
the last few weeks.

One of my favorite sayings is:

Blessed are those who run around in circles for they shall be knows as
Wheels.

I can't find a Scripture Verse for that Beatitude(sp?) Yet!    ;-)

He's Done It!
