Don !
many thanks for your helpful reply.
I also found that I have neglected to thank you for your very useful
advice re Connecting External Hard Drives dated 7th July.
In the absence of any advice about how MUCH power a powered hub should
be, I have bought one of 125cc (this should keep the petrol costs down
in the present fuel crisis).
I am also trying to pluck up courage to reply to GMan's kind enquiry of
7th July, list my misdemeanours and ask for exorcism
