I might expect this with the T20 and 21, at least, due to their age (and yes, I do see low voltage issues with machines of that vintage - just swapped out a desktop which simply stopped charging an iPod). Just curious. I get a message about a surge when connecting the Asus. While I have a mini-usb hub I don't have that many USB devices, just a mouse, the ASUS, the camera, a USB external drive and a Bluetooth dongle. Is that not too many? I seldom have more than 2 connected, and the drive usually by itself. My hub has an optional powersupply which I don't usually carry. I almost never us the laptop with USB when not connected via a plug. The battery just drains within an hour.... That's a fair amount of devices. I'm impressed that the T23 is able to handle the voltage output. I haven't tried a USB hub on a T20, but have had experience with power-hungry devices demanding more than the T20 could feed (thus requiring the use of a powered hub). -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
