Donald, I plug my powered 7-port hub into the left keyboard USB port. The keyboard is plugged into the Master (top) USB port of my Rev. B, and the iMate is plugged into the right keyboard USB port. The TurboMouse 4 is plugged into the iMate. Sincerely, Dennis -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
