Does The Job!
I'm a first time computer owner but very particular about electronic "Gear"(i'm an audiophile).I happen to be very happy with this Hub so far(one month old).It does the job it is intended to,I have a printer,scanner and my keyboard connected to it and it works just fine.Now I have 3 extra usb portsopen for business. It is a bit light in weight but then most others are too.I'm an iMac user(running OSX) and ifyou are too then I would suggest you give this one a try.

Poor Performance & Customer Support
I purchased an Ultra Hub 4 from Circuit City, connected it to my PII and it worked for about 3 min.After the first three minutes the four green "hub" lights (indicating the hubs were working) did not remain lit on a continuous basis.I tried unplugging all cables sequentially but the hub never performed to my expectations.I wrote ADS Tech customer support and they never repsonded.I will return the Ultra Hub 4 and exchange for a better brand.I guess you get what you pay for . . .

Excellent Deal
For the price you can't go wrong.Plus a USB cable is included.

A good buy with only a few downsides.
First of all, this is a VERY good looking unit.It's exactly how I hoped it would look after seeing the picture on the Amazon.com page.And it works fine, no problems encountered yet in a month of use, and with three different computers - a laptop with Win98, a desktop with WinMe, and a desktop win Win2000.

A few notes though: 1. There are 5 LEDs visible to the user.This is a good idea, but...... There's one red one, to show that it's powered on.Then four green ones, one for each port.The only problem is, as long as Windows is loaded, ALL the green lights are on, which does NOT reflect which ports are actually in use.So, they're really just for show. 2.The unit is very light, but the cords hanging off the back aren't.So, if you have the unit sitting within a couple inches of the back of your desk, rather than on the floor, the cords will put weight on the back of it and cause the front to not sit flat on the desk.A little unsightly. 3.I wish they put the AC-DC converter in the unit itself rather than have a large power adapter.Plus, since they unit is translucent, I can see that there is a bit of room to spare where they could have added an internal AC-DC converter.Plus, this would solve the weight problem (#2). ...

Product Description

Notebook computers and USB, the Universal Serial Bus, should be a happy marriage of two convenience-oriented technologies. But older notebooks may not be equipped with USB ports, and in that case, you'll need ADS Technologies' USB Port Adapter to use USB peripherals with your notebook. Why would you want to use USB peripherals? Well, for one thing, USB offers very fast data transfer rates, which is superior to standard serial and parallel port connectivity. Furthermore, over one hundred USB devices can be connected to a single USB port, and all those devices are capable of sharing the same system resources such as a single IRQ setting, to minimize conflicts between devices. USB devices are also hot-swappable, meaning that your computer recognizes them as soon as they are connected, without the need to reboot the system. ADS Tech's USB Port Adapter consists of a Type II PC Card connected to a USB port hub with two ports. The PC Card uses CardBus technology and is usable only by CardBus-enabled notebooks. It also requires an operating system which supports USB, such as Windows 98. The USB Port Adapter comes with a user's manual to guide you through the quick and easy setup procedure. If your notebook doesn't support USB, get this adapter by ADS Technologies, and get connected to USB devices with speed and simplicity! ... Read more

Poor product
I have a HP Pavilion Notebook ZT1180. It is 3 years old, in great shape, but the only drawback is that it has USB 1.1 ports. The primary reason for purchasing the PCMCIA card is because I need it for an 802.11 SuperG USB adapter.

I installed the card and downloaded updated drivers from the adstech website. I was running XP Home SP2. Installation and detection of the hardware was what I call "finicky". It required some tweaking and troubleshooting. Finally I got it up and running. I tried my wireless USB dongle, and had a couple of problems. First, it required A LOT of effort to insert the USB dongle into the card. An extraordinarily amount of effort to the point that I was afraid of breaking the contacts. I finally was able to insert the dongle into the card. The dongle could not get enough power from the card, so the notebook could not detect the device. I wanted to avoid a PCMCIA card that would require the use of an AC adapter to power USB devices. After that, I tried plugging in my Rio Carbon to see if it could be detected via the card. This device was already powered by its own AC adapter. It didn't work. Nada. Nothing. Zip. Not detected by my notebook. Again, both ports were difficult to insert the USB male end of the peripheral devices.

I would give it zero stars if possible since the product did not even work at all! I returned it promptly. Go with adaptec USB2connect. I have had success with this item. ... Read more

Doesn't work with Win98 either
A follow on from SkiBilly.I'm running Win98 and after a long drawn out process to install the drivers (drivers included with the unit didn't work so had to go to the ADS web site and download the updated ones) discovered that the device "grabs" my computer and won't allow it to go into standby mode.I contacted ADS customer support and they recommended that I simply not use standby mode!

Needless to say, I've returned the thing.

Would work well, but doesn't work with Windows ME!!!
This product looks great for laptops like mine that only have USB ports, but it does not work with Windows ME!!! The drivers for the serial and parallel ports do not load.

Not Thumb-drive friendly
I've used this hub for a year or so and have been disappointed. The connecting cord to the PC is very short and does not sit easily atop the mini-tower. I can plug my USB thumb-drive and printer into the hub without needing to use the power adaptor and this is a major plus. However, when I needed to use all four ports (and the power adaptor), the hub would cycle through the connections, causing WinXP to "drop" the thumb-drive every few minutes then re-connect a couple seconds later. Quite annoying.

Great product
I purchased this for a laptop running Windows 2000. The laptop has only 1 USB port. I plugged it into the port and attached my mouse and my flash drive and both instantly worked flawlessly.

I also liked that the package includes a power adapter but the included manual (more about that in a moment) explains that you don't need the power adapter for low-power-use devices such as mice. The design is a bit peculiar but it also includes two additional easy-swappable covers so you can change from silver to gray to black.

The manual (a 36-page booklet) includes information in 4 languages (English, French, Spanish, and Portugese). The English section was written by someone with a good grasp of English (unlike many manuals lately that have very peculiar translations). It includes clear diagrams and explanations (not that I really think anyone would really need this, but nonetheless, the manual was a nice feature.)

I've always liked Belkin products and once again, I am very pleased.

Works great -- recommended
This is the only USB hub I've ever used (purchased around New Year's 2002), and I have no intention of finding a new one.(I have a P3-500 laptop and a docking station with 2 USB ports.I put my printer into one port, and the USB hub in the other; in the hub, I currently have a 3.5" floppy drive, a mouse, and a webcam.)While I have no idea what other hubs do better or worse, I can offer a few isolated observations about the Belkin.

* The unit is reliable; every once in a while my laptop will flake out and not recognize some or all of the devices in the hub -- if I unplug the hub and plug it back in, it clears right up.

* It's self-powered, so it doesn't draw power from the computer itself.That may not be a big deal to a desktop user, but if you have a laptop, my guess is you'll want it to get its own power.I guess if you have a presentation or something, you can bring it a long and plug in a pointer, a disk drive, or whatever other technological pyrotechnics you've dreamed up.(If you're merely working away from the desk, you will, of course, want to leave the Belkin behind and not play tech-wizard in public.)If, on the other hand, you have a desktop, you just unplug the hub's power cord and flip a switch from "BUS" to "SELF," and you don't have to screw with the extra cord.

* Moving on, it's laid out kind of strange.The cord to the CPU goes in one end of the rectangular body, and four outlets come out the other.I bet it's great if your USB port faces you from about two feet away (?), but I don't have a lot of room between my docking station and the wall, so it ends up very inelegantly laying on top of the other cables.

* It has LEDs to let you know that your ports are powered.I suppose this is a dummy check measure if you happen to have your USB hub hooked up to a different power supply; I rarely see the thing, so I don't care about the lights.

All in all, I've had no frustrations at all with the Belkin; since that's about the most you could ever ask from a piece of electronics, it gets a big thumbs up. ... Read more
