Thanks George, yep that sounds like about the size of it. Oh well, Caveat
Emptor, as they say, particularly on second hand lists.
Cheers now.

Hi Ian,
Basically, with USB cables one end is flat, the other end is square.
Usually, the flat end goes into to the sending device, such as the PC. The
square end goes in to the device, such as a printer, digital camera, or in your
case a BookCourier.
However be warned, not all USB cables are alike, though it is usually at the
square end, where the connection can be large or small. (The BC uses a small
one.)
As regards the "hub", what was is designed for? It sounds like you might
have a USB Network hub, used to connect PCs together, as opposed to one which
allows 1 USB port from a PC to supply 4 devices.
George.

Hi all,
Can anyone explain to me the difference between the square shaped USB
connectors and the ones which are thinner and more rectangular? Most of the
ports on my PC here are the latter type, which is fine because things like my
Book Courier and Sarah's Palmtop plug up via the rectangular type. But I have
a 4-way hub which only seems to accept the fatter square ones. However, I
don't have any pieces of kit which rely on these. Does this mean the hub is of
no use?
Cheers now.
Ian
