(unless anyone knows some trick with X or firefox to freeze one ? ) One couldnt even use 2 different browsers & ^Z as one still have to pan mouse to controlling Xterm before hitting Control Z. So one would have to look at source of bpth pages & try to download both larger pictures (if that's possible & it's not some live java thing, I dont know, haven't looked). It's not identical. The white paint of the silk screen on PCB ends with: Conrad.de : 8-00B MADE IN TAIWAN (no preceeding 1122 ) Newegg.com : 08-00D MADE IN TAIWAN (+ preceeding 1122 ) Electricaly I don't know. My posting http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-usb/2012-June/011283.html Lists all numbers off top of chips, (it was very hard to read one chip, even with magnifying glass & good light, I wouldnt want to try to read pcture on newegg web page, but people have my IC numbers for Conrad). Newegg.com page has: "With a built-in SATA power connector, each USB port can deliver up to 900mA of power" That's too low, should be 1.0 Amp I believe for USB3 spec. http://www.conrad.com/ce/en/product/973583/ (english page BTW) clicks to http://www.produktinfo.conrad.com/datenblaetter/950000-974999/973583-an-01-ml-2_PORT_USB_3_0_PCI_EXPRESS_C_de_en_fr_nl.pdf Page 2 says: "each USB port of the plug-in card can deliver a current of up to 1.5A (SATA power unit must be connected to the plug-in card!)," Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Linux Unix C Sys Eng Consultant Munich http://berklix.com Interleave reply paragraphs like a play script.
