Hi. I live with a lovely woman whose eyes glaze over at the mere mention of the c-word. Computer. So, I'm going to have to bore you lot with this:

I bought a 6" USB adapter cable to convert a hub to something I could more readily use. What seemed a simple task ended up taking three days.

I had 5Gb/s ports running at 480Mb/s. I had SSDs dropping connections. The latest was a message saying my USB port couldn't supply enough power.

I reconfigured the heck out of this setup and finally got there. I've I've posted a photo of the problem and a pdf of the solution.

I'm pretty pleased with myself. My wife could care less...

I should say that the swapping and changing probably took a 1/2 day. The rest of the time was spent doing the pdf.

My wife's friends ask her what I do all day. She doesn't like to say.
