For starters, you need a hub and that will probably get you over a power problem that you won't know about. The hubs provide more power than you cat get from the pc. Most mobo's come with additional connections as options. That will add up to more than 10 with the hubs. A UBS-2 card is a 5-usb port hub. Last time I tried it, we don't have USB-2 but it is coming. You can't use a version 1.1 hub on a version 2 port. kent -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA http://users.owt.com/kstewart/index.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
