well my knowledge is slight on the matter of pen drives and such but I do have
a pen drive and it sits quite happily in my unpowered usb hub. as I understand
it the or some items need a powered hub as some items need a bit of a boost.
I have however, had the pen drive just sitting in the back of the machine too
without any probs either way.
running xp home edision.
sincerely joe.

Hi Martin,
I don't quite understand what you've said. I'll quote what I need
clarifying.
>I think maybe the pc is protecting your pen drive. the usb ports on the
keyboard are only meant for low >power aps such as mp3 players etc.
Does this mean that mp3 players are low power aps and pen drives and memory
card readers are high powered? I don't know much about all this as you can
tell.
>your drives is a high powerr item, and needs direct feed, rather than the
third party feed from your >keyboard.
Oh, i didn't understand that but, now I'm getting it. So, pen drives and
mem card readers normally don't like third party hubs? Where as low power
things do?
I'd love to do a google search to learn more about this but, hmmm... what
do I put in the search term.
Unless anyone posts on computer tech forums and can recommend a good one
for me to look at?
Thanks for your help martin. it's starting to make sense.
Justin
