[G4] Upgrade to USB 2.0

[Harry Freeman]

Greetings ( + )!( + )

Pat I don't understand what "old" has to do with anything, I'm "old" 
too, been working on computers for more than 40 years, I would 
recommend that you get something like the "Adesso 4-Port Powered Hub 
Mini Hub" because the devices that you connect to the Hub will not draw 
power from your Mac. platform. which is important because the more 
power the you use from the Mac. the shorter the life expecentancy of 
your Mac. system. And if something happens to the "Wall-Wart" they are 
easy and cheep to replace.
Below is Overview of the Adesso Mini Hub and you can obtain one from 
http://www.pcuniverse.com/product.asp?pid=62800&m_id=32 for $6.41 each 
plus $6.98 shipping.

Adesso offers USB Mini 4-Port powered mini hub. This hub supports both 
high-speed and low-speed devices. Its ports are reliable at up to 4,5 m 
of transmission. Downstream ports have automatic connect and speed 
detection function plus over-current protection with auto recovery. Bus 
fault detection will automatically reset device. The hub supports 
bus-powered and self-powered mode.

Don't worry if it doesn't state that it's for a Mac. the USB standard 
is a IEEE regulated standard and all platforms that state that they run 
USB must meet the standard.
