Dear WAMUGers, I am having a small problem when using a Belkin USB 2.0 hub in that when the computer is turned on, any device (currently a ZIP 100) connected to the hub does not seem to be recognised. It even looks like the hub itself is not recognised as System Profiler does not show the hub unless I unplug and plug the hub back.
I can work around this by unplugging and plugging the USB cable connecting the computer to the hub. After this action the green LED lights up and the ZIP is recognised. This is not a preferred solution though. I have tried starting the computer with the hub powered or not powered with the same negative result. Also tried with a printer/scanner Epson Stylus CX5300 connected to the hub, again with the same result. Note that both the Zip and Epson are immediately recognised when plugged directly into the G5. Any idea please? Set up is: G5 1.8 running OS 10.3.2 Hub is a Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Hub model F5U234au. The hub is powered. Many thanks, Philippe C
