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
