Jim,
I use a similar setup to what you proposed. I tested the unit first by
attaching it directly to one of the USB connectors on the back of the computer.
Even though Easydisk comes with a short USB cord (not often you see a company
provide ALL the equipment <G>), it doesn't provide a very easy connection due
to the fact my computer is located under a counter here in my office. As soon
as I connected the new Belkin hub I connected the Easydisk cord to one of the
ports and it is easy to reach now. On my laptop, I just connect the Easydisk
directly to the back of the laptop with no cord -- simple and quick. When I
get to scottsdale, I'll connect it with a cord.
