Software / system requirements
OS Required: Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows 95 OSR 2, Apple MacOS 8.1 or later

This problem is avoided by the Belkin 7-porthub as the ports are well spaced out with four on one side and three on the other. There is an indicator light for each port to indicate whether it is working or not (on or off). There is no switch to turn off the hub - this would have to be done by disconnecting it from...
