OK,
I know this thread isn't completely on topic of G-Books, but hey, I did start thinking of it while using my Pismo system so here we go:
I was thinking the other day of the limits USB has, in the department of just how many devices can be connected to one USB port. According to the facts, the limit is 127 devices. Who, may I ask, actually came up with that number?! Did someone in their garage actually connect 128 devices only to discover that the 128th device didn't work, therefore coming up with the 127 number? Let's say that you used the Belkin 7 port hub to do this. In theory, you'd need 18 hubs, giving you 126 ports; still short by one port. That also means you'd need 18 plugs, assuming ALL 126 devices are bus powered. Are these numbers really just a marketing gimmick? Anyway, this is really just me thinking out loud and nobody has to respond, but I'm still wondering about the reality and practicality of these numbers.
Food for Thought. . .
