Thanks for that, I didn't realise. I knew a TC or AE could handle a printer and a drive using a hub, but never thought about multiples of either.

Works well. I have 3 powered USB hubs with 3 HD's one of which is used for Time Machine backup. 2 printers, 1 epson, 1 Canon both of which report ink & paper fine. 1 Canon scanner, joystick for Windows partition, Garmen USB dongle for the same partition as well as a USB dongle for my Radio Control Helicopter simulator for use with the rf transmitter. All work as they should. -- Welsh Gas Remove usual to reply direct. paulatwoodsforddotcodotuk
