USB automatically determinesresources (like driver software and bus bandwidth) required by peripherals. USB makesnecessary resources available without user intervention. There are three main benefits ofUSB. USB eliminates "case anxiety," the fear of removing the computer case to install circuitboard cards -- that often requires adjustment of complicated IRQ settings -- for add-onperipherals. USB does away with "port gridlock." Without USB, PCs are normally limited toone printer, two Com port devices (usually a mouse and modem), one Enhanced ParallelPort add-on (scanner or video camera, for example), and a joystick. More and moreperipherals for multimedia computers come on the market every day. With USB, up to 127devices can run simultaneously on one computer. USB permits "hot plug-in." No need toshut down, plug in, reboot and run set up to install peripherals. No need to go through thereverse process to unplug a device. Bottom line: USB transforms today's "Plug-and-Pray"into true Plug-and-Play!Q: What is a USB hub ?A: A USB hub provides additional connections to the Universal Serial Bus. A hub'supstream port connects a hub to the host, usually a PC.
