USB HUB

  Richy42

   Hi

   Can anyone recommend a working usb hub for the c64 mini. Given there are
   only two usb connections on the mini I needed a third - for an external
   usb keyboard along with the joystick and memory stick.
   I did buy one from a well known auction site but this does not work [2]:(

   Cheers,

   [6]RetroBiker yes it pushes out 2.5amp for charging the Mini. I can also
   use it with my Pi though I haven't tested it with that yet. Very nice
   product.

   I'm using [7]this exact one and it works fine with a USB stick and the
   joystick plugged in.

   My PSU is 5V 2.5A.

   I'm using an Apple keyboard that has 2 USB ports on it. Works very well
   except that I can't seem to use the function keys.

   Mine is 5v and 2.4 amp,works fine for my pi,just wondering does anyone
   think it should be more powerful to maybe help with the mini not finding
   games on memory stick

  Parcival

   2.4A should be fine.

   Ok thanks all. It was the hub I was interested in. The keyboard works fine
   when directly connected
