Yes it
should work, but I was hoping for real world advice that it
does work
. USB has been and continues to be a PITA when it comes to system reliability...

I might do that, if I can find a USB hub that I can trust! The hub on the scope now is made for automotive installations (Carnetix CNX-P5USB):

it has been ultra-reliable for over four years, but it is a bit hard to get and expensive (78$A + 85$A for 5-10 business days shipping!! Too bad since I want to drive up to Ark on the anzac weekend.

I think USB3 is backward compatible to USB1.0

OK thanks for the advice about the scopedome. Mark tried his once on USB3 and had no luck, but it could have been something else.
Surely someone using an FLI camera must have plugged it into a usb3 port!
