3.0 out of 5 stars Simple and effective, October 10, 2002

By	IVE - See all my reviews

This hub is simple and effective. It splits 1 usb 1.1 port into 4 usb 1.1 ports (beware, the 12 Mbps usb speed is *shared* between all the devices connected to the usb port, you don't get 4 12 mbps ports, this is by design)

I recommend getting usb 2.0 instead of 1.1, but if you don't need usb 2.0, this hub is enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Deal, July 19, 2002

By	Dmitry Goldfeld (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews

[$$] gets you a long way when buying this hub. You just plug it in and use it, its very easy. Also, I was worried that when switching the position of my existing USB connections I would have to reinstall the drivers for them, however the computer, thanks to the hub recognised the changes by itself. I reccoomend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful/convenient, January 3, 2003

By	R Subramanian "MovieFreak" (Boulder, CO, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My office machine is 2 years old, with USB ports in the back - rather inconvenient to plug in my USB Zip drive or a digital camera (old 1.3 MP!) This worked out very well for me, I fixed it to the CPU tower using a piece of velcro. The discounted price made it a real steal.
