It took a Masters Degree to figure out where to post this...and I still don't know if its correct or not?:lol:
Anyhow, I have one 4 port USB hub now; One end connects into the computer and 4 hubs, all being used. When I need to download or do any such work with my 436 or 536, I have to unplug the Back Up Drive to use the Port.
I want to buy another Hub, either 4 or 7 ports. I just have a few questions:
-- Does it matter if the Hub is powered or not as far as my Scanner use is concerned?
-- Can I use 1.1 and/or 2.0 equipment in a 3.0 port?
-- If I only have a 2.0 port, can 3.0 devices still work? I really do not care about lower speed; I am not copying the Library of Congress or any such thing. Just a few scanners.
Thank you. Any brands would be appreciated as well. Greg
