Thanks deubster! I don't know what country you are in and more importantly what type of electricity and plug the hub uses? I visit the USA from time to time so I could buy one there pretty easily I think, but I need to use it in France with 220V and the Euro plug. The hubs I used to have had external transformers that only operated on 120V.

I actually foresaw this happening long ago and stockpiled 3 3COM hubs myself. That was about 10 years ago and now they are all dead.
