Re: Multiple USB 1.1 devices in USB 2 Hub speed ?

Thanks, I did not think of this. Is an internal USB hub the norm for
PCs, or is it normally more than one host controller ?

Usually, computers have more than one USB controllers. You can see
this in Device Manager, under USB Controllers section. The host
controllers are listed there, as well as the root hubs, normally one
per controller. Have to find the link between connectors and
controllers.
However, the other answers are correct, a 2.0 Hub will convert the
speed from Full to High. (Sorry for misinformation, what I was saying
is true for Full speed hubs, they use the actual speed of the device.
I didn't play too much with 2.0 hubs. My bad.) In this case looks like
you can use a hub and do not worry about speed because it is
translated to High speed. Not sure if you can find a 2.0 hub with 6
ports, and I'm not sure if the hub has a host controller for each port
or uses one for all (which will give you the same bandwidth problem).
But, if you use 2 hubs with 3 devices on each, that would be ok.
