Hey now -
i am in need of a USB hub. i had given up on the hub concept, which was possible working on a desktop pc with 4 USB ports, but now i am using a laptop which has a port replicator with only 1 USB port.
I currently have DLink hub (probably 2-3 years old) that is powered, but it still seems to die just about everytime i print on my USB HP LaserJet 1000 (which has its own power cord) or try to activesync more than the slightest amount of data.
I was reading Jason's post on the IOGear minihub, and almost pulled the trigger, but thought i would post here to see if anyone has any experience with this or any other hub that would sway my decision.
Size of the device is not really of any concern. I also don't care if it is USB 1.1 or 2.0. I just want the dang thing to work. and by work i mean not conk out on my when i am actually trying to use one of my USB devices.
thanks in advance for your thoughts....
