Hey John

I have had nothing but problems with powered USB hubs and my controls.  The problem is I am at the end of my USB ports on the computer itself. I have several Go-Flight modules and would like to add more but the USB space has been an issue.

Any advice or experience to help overcome this short fall.

you could get USB PCI cards to add more slots to your rig... they're not that expensive... and you don't need to have a lot of devices sharing the bandwidth of a single slot   Smiley

westside,

I have tons of stuff hooked to powered usb hubs and no issues. 

With the Goflight stuff however I have kept that on usb 1 as opposed to usb 2, based on reading their forums and the issues that cropped up with many people on the 2.0 format.  You don't need the extra 2.0 speed in this application.

best,

.....................john
