4 port USB2.0 hub and T42

#1 Post by kyrotech » Tue Nov 20, 2007 11:31 pm

I've been using my T42 with the 2 USB2.0 ports it has so far good (am using a bluetooth mouse and, external USB2.0 HDD and USB printer/scanner/fax). My question if I want to add more USB2.0 ports to it, can I use a USB2.0 hub like the one shown in the following link:

Or I need one with an AC Adapter? I only need 4 USB2.0 ports.

A cardbus PCMCIA USB2.0 card will work but I want to know if the above solution is possible.

Thank you.

I use a 4-port USB hub (non-powered) with no problems. Looks quite similar to the one linked.

I use one very similar to the one pictured but with 3 on the side and one on the end. Picked it up on my last visit to States at Walmart. I think it was $7.99 but for sure under $10.00.
