I recently moved the mdd about 15 feet from the desk. Then connected
my keyboard/mouse and monitor via 15 ft. extension cables (dvi and
usb). Video works great, but keyboard/mouse didn't have the power it
needed.... I then used a USB 2.0 7 port hub at the MDD end to boost
power, which, by the way works great..... here's the question: has
anybody on the list tried using one of those "dual USB connections" to
provide extra power instead of the USB hub? you know, like the usb
cables you sometimes get when you buy a 2.5 external hard drive? to
provide power to bigger hard drives installed into that 2.5 USB
enclosure? Jeff
