Anyone try one? I was wondering if maybe the USB NIC would be more stable with a seperate PS. I was unable to hook up a game controller and USB NIC together. I am gonna try a hub...
Hmm.. maybe I can build one into my Webplayer...

Well, plugged in the hub, running several USB devices, including my NIC, everything works, no problems.. look like it may just be a power issue after all (maybe NIC uses too much power and robs from CPU, RAM, etc.?)
Anyway, I have 2 logitech rumble pads, nic, and mouse hooked up, no probs

Well, it finally locked up... must be a USB bandwidth problem. Maybe something with the IO chip. I have been reading a little about the Media GX and they don't generally support USB. SO, this is likely an afterthought that isn't 100% compliant or reliable.
