USB 2 compliant hubs are, more or less. If you're using Switch in the
same way as an Ethernet "Switch". A USB 2 hub is a little more
complicated as it has to do status reporting as well as just store and
forward. They're complicated beasties.

Really? I think that's neat. I would have never thought so on my own.
Ofcourse I haven't read the specs but "U.S.B", S. = Serial, serial as
in like RS232 is super simple. I feel inspiried to go read up on USB
technology... But that's just the kinda guy I am...

O :-)

Thanks!
