Hi,
I would at least one USB port beside the two supplied with my 1.25
Aluminum Powerbook (OS . 10.4.8)
I've tried 2 different USB hubs but they both made my computer do
unpredictable things.
Should we assume that those were Hubs powered from a separate Power
Supply ?

Yes both were powered.
The kind of problems they led to were difficulty in shutting the
computer down I had to remove the battery a couple of times
to get it out of a freeze.
And starting it up again - several pushes on the start button
sometime got it started.
Those troubles don't happen when neither of the hubs are connected.
I should mention the type of hubs I guess - they are a 6 port Swann
and a Belkin 6 port.
I'm reluctant to hook them up again as they both gave similar
worrying problems.
I'm also worried that a PC Card with USB ports way present the same
problems
I'm thinking if I could find a Bluetooth enabled Trackball (I love my
trackball) I'd be able to free up one of the built in USB ports.

Is there a PC(MIA) Card that works this Powerbook?
Thanks
Brian
