Guys, Just for a test,
I've just tested my SBIG-Sti CCD camera via the Jcar USB 1.1 Adapter
http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=XC4884 (No drivers) with NO hub over 10 metres and it works a treat.
If I put a Hub on it, It fails, So I'll have to run another cable just for this camera, so - what's one more cable
- I'll use the one that Brian suggested - I've got them spare.
(piky was in the process of re-cabling)
