Dear all,
I surfed the boards for some time now and did not find a specific answer (always get caught up at some irrelevant question =) ).
we (girlfriend and I) both own usb hubs. Same model with a powersupply adapter to follow. Thing is that all devices (usb-cam, usb-scanner, usb-mouse, usb-keyboard) work fine without the powersupply for the hub. I have left it unpowered and it lights and sparks as it shall =).
Is the hub-powersupply intended for un-self-powered usbdevices? Is it for a chain-link of usb-hubs to maintain speed and bandwidth? Or..?
Another question:
Will the total bandwidth of the motherboard's usbports be shared to all ports or only for the ports where there are coonections?
(e.g. 12 ports sharing 12mbps with a portspeed@1.0mbps. or 10 "inactive" ports and two ports active (with connectors; e.g. usb-hub, usb-scanner) with a portspeed@6mbps.
Thanks a lot...!
