I scored a 7 port Belkin hub a while ago in the clearance bin at CompUSA for less than half price.
It works, the only complaint is that if I plug the Apple USB (small) keyboard into it, I can't turn on my G4 with the KB power button. It took a few times to figure that one out, but my mind is not the sharpest in the morning.
The nice thing is that it is powered, and I can plug my Intuos into it.

Yeah, it is kind of a pain that you can't expect every feature to work if you plug your peripheral into a USB hub. My digital camera's manual says you should plug its USB cable directly into the computer's USB port rather than a hub. At least USB peripherals are hot swappable (they say).

The trouble is, mavapa, that *every* peripheral manufacturer says their product should be plugged direct to the computer and not via a hub

I have a Busstation with a serial adapter and another hub module. It works great. The only problem I had was when I used Belkin ties to try to wrap all the cables together the hub didn't work. Once I unwrapped them it worked again! Weird.
