USB CF HOST CARD
« on: April 15, 2004, 06:35:56 am »
Hi,

are any other CF USB cards supported apart from the Ratoc. I saw another card which came with two proper usb A sockets... would be much better being able to plug multiple pieces of equipment at once!

okay so a hub takes more power, but more importantly where do you find a usb hub that takes a mini usb b plug?

Why do you need such a HUB? The RATOC card has a normal USB plug

ComputerShopper
This one looks like a Ratoc dealer: http://shop.store.yahoo.com/firewireshop/n...wusb11hosa.html
I didn\'t see any on ebay yesterday, even with a completed items search

The cheapest right now appears to be through Page Computer. Can anyone here vouch for their service? Or does anyone know of any cheaper sources for the Ratoc USB CF card? I plan on ordering one next week.
