Howdy! Mark,

USB Hubs and most everything else never come with a Schematic Diagram
of the circuit where a person would know if the maker put a Diode in
that line or not.

I've used USB All In Ones for printing since I put a USB 2 card in the
W98SE computer I used before I got this XP box.

The used W95 Notebook I got in 1998 had Serial and Parallel Ports on it
where I could use the Canon BJC-610 printer I was using with the 486 pc
by using a Switch Box to share the printer with those computers.

Actually I had two Parallel Port Switch Boxes in series so I could use
the Epson FX-86e when I wanted to also. Go ahead and laugh.

Yep!, even if they're Color Coded.
