And no matter what I hook up the speakers too, it messes with the keyboard, though I had not tried to put the keyboard and mouse back on the 1.x builtins (don't really need 2.0 speed for such devices) as they were starting to act up on them. > work, you might want to try a power adapter that has a USB host > connector.

The set I had before this one was old when I got them. Last new set I had was from Creative. Two full range satellites with a 6 1/2" omni-directional sub-woofer for about $80; unfortunately that was ages ago. I miss them (the satellite's died before the sub). > WRT the suggestion to hack something together, I wouldn't suggest > attempting it unless you're quite sure of what would be involved. I'm fairly certain solder (rosin-core as acid-core would corrode the contacts), electrical tape and a few prayers that I avoid the below stated consequences (seriously, there is a +5 and +12 on my motherboard? man I am seriously under-utilizing this thing). > It wouldn't be exactly difficult, but getting something backwards > -- or connecting to the +12 instead of the +5 supply -- would at > least let all the magic blue smoke out of the speakers :) --=20 Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
