Hi Roger,
I would not be wise to have a second hub drawing power off
the first. I'm inclined to suggest one of two things.
1) If you have a spare slot, get a USB expansion card, and
plug the more permanent mains powered devices, such as
printers, into that including the broadband modem. This is
usually a cheaper alternative, and keeps the frontal
spaghetti to a minimum.
2) Buy a powered hub with more outlets, and keep the 4 port
unit as a backup.
George.
