I am not home and unable to quote brand and model info but I am successfully using a USB hub (2.0/3.0 ac powered) and an 8 port USB to serial hub connected to a Dell laptop running Win8. They have been working together perfectly for many months running K-Line, SteppIR controller, rotator and DXLabs. If anyone wants more info email direct and I will send it out later this week.
