Don's right, a hub will not work. It is a very minimum implementation of a USB port and not expandable due to hardware limitations in the way they originally did things. My work around was to find a multi-port, mechanical USB switch. That way all you have to do is switch to whichever device you want attached, the Keyboard or USB Stick. A mouse will not work though, at least as things stand now.

Mike,

I don't think that connector on the P3SVGA is a full USB port, it is a connector for a USB keyboard.

You can plug your Thumbdrive into your computer and use P3 Utility to do download a bitmap image of the P3 screen and save it to a file on your Thumbdrive (or anywhere else on your computer). See page 21 of the P3 manual.

Though I have had my P3 for quite some time, I had a wireless Keyboard hooked up to it. I would also like to hook up a USB Stick (Thumbdrive) to the same port for saving images of the Screen (Screenshots). The manual states that a USB Hub will not work with the P3, but will a USB Y Cable work or is that also considered a USB Hub.
