want to look for one there in Thailand.
We get people explicitly asking for the Keyspan based on its reputation for
reliability in all fields of endeavour, including mission critical applications in places
such as hospitals, ocean going yachts and mines.
No problem in using more than one adapter at a time and Keyspan
also make multi-adapters which then only occupy one USB port.
The Keyspan also comes with drivers that work with Windows 7.

Thanks Gary. I see that a single port Keyspan is about the same price as the Belkin so I might just give that a go.
I have given up finding stuff like this in Thailand. I couldn't even get an adapter to run my laptop on 12v!!! I ended up getting one when I was back in Australia in February. I have a friend coming to visit soon and he is used to bringing stuff for me...
