Does anyone have one of these, if so is the USB capability on it for USB 1 or 2, Belkin themselves aren't too clear on this.
Also in general any probs, and what do you think of it.

Have read that this device has had lots of probs with Macintels, (randomly switching between Mac and PC, along with phantom volume changes, seems to work fine on PowerPC Mac's) this has apparently been down to the firmware, has anyone got any reports/experience of this, or bought one recently for use with a macIntel and not had probs (i.e has the firmware been sorted)?

Apparently the switch has USB2 capability, it's got two USB2 ports, one which has to have a keyboard connected (although a mouse can be connected to that keyboard if there's a USB port) and the other port which can have 1 USB2 device attached (scanner, printer etc) or it can have a USB2 hub connected to provide more ports apparently (which is how I'd use it).
