Hello, I just wanted to ask, because I think I have too many USB ports
on my main machine, my G4 iMac, an they're all used. I am not talking
about JUST the USB ports on the logic board, I have 4 hubs plugged in
and all fully used. Is that normal? I have 16 total USB ports on my G4
iMac, and all but one are used up. That one that's not used is on the
keyboard.
USB 1-Hub 1
USB 2-Keyboard w/hub 2
USB 3-Printer, HP Photosmart C3100
USB 4-Mouse
USB 5-SPARE-----------------------
USB 6-Stylus touchpad
USB 7-Backup 320GB HDD for Time Machine and CCC
USB 8-iPod connector cable, always plugged in
USB 9- Hub 3
USB 10-Bluetooth Adapter
USB 11-SD Card reader/ smart card reader, 12 in one
USB 12-External DVD drive
USB 13-500GB Maxtor One Touch HDD
USB 14-Webcam
USB 15-Receiver for Apple Remote
USB 16-Camera 2 for outside view
Is it normal to have this many USB ports?
Remember the USB Standard has a limit of 5 hubs, and a total length of
30 meters/98 feet for all cables.
Are Hubs 1 & 3 above POWERED hubs?
I bought a powered hub that had 13 USB ports; it crapped out within 30 days.
