[admin - yes looks like it] But sweet price - 139.99 USD with free shipping - that is about £88.24 on Saturday's (latest I have from Oanda) interbank GBPUSD exchange rate of 1.58640. Typically, how much tax and whatever would I have to pay on this ? I know having items sent by ...

Re: USB Hub with separate on off switches

I have one like this - probably same factory in China - from EBuyer, but haven't tried it yet. What booting issues do you have ? Are you booting Windows ? Let us know what you'd like to try and I'll see what I can do - no promises on when though. Actually I have another USB port from EBuyer that has...

Re: Joggler Side USB Port Current Source Capacity

There must be some upper limit of the current that the Joggler can supply, as when I put a Samsung 2.5" hard drive in a USB enclosure directly into an OpenPeak joggler, the drive won't spin up. The enclosure has a power supply plug, so I plugged this into a 400mA 5V Huawei mobile phone charger ...

Re: Black screen only - can it be fixed?

Just wondering - is it possible to get hold of spare (compatible) efi chips and then have them flashed with whatever is necessary to work on a Joggler ? Another possibility, could be to meet up with someone else who has a working Joggler and is willing to help out and give it a try. I guess there is...

Re: Power Joggler & External Device from Joggler Power Suppl

Thanks pete, its good to know that the Joggler can manage on less than 4 amps and that you run Jogglers 24/7, as this is what I'd like to do. This means running the Joggler and powering a hub from the same power supply is a possibility. I think what would be useful for this and also for a battery pa...
