This is Off-Topic but I was wondering what the experiences of other users in this group are. I would like to share a 250GB USB 2.0 Maxtor drive among 3 or 4 different machine for backup purposes (3 PC's and Laptop). I would like this to be automated if possible. They all have XP Pro with USB 2.0 ports. I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience with a "shared" USB hub that can handle automatic switching? TIA moncho
