    Hello

    I would like to know if it's possible to have more power on USB port to add like two usb stick on one USB port .

    My problem it's because for a tools i have HASP key solder inside my CF-19 and USB port can't detect if i plug stick or other on the USB port, so i think it's because power is no good, sorry for my poor english :eek:

    I would like to find 5v on motherboard to solder on USB port to have more power.

    Thanks .

    try a double USB-cable. That way you can use two USB-ports, one for data and power, another one for just power. Also you can try to use a recent Macbook Pro, they have lots and lots of power on their USB-ports.

    I haven't ran across any power problems on my CF-19 Mk1. I have a usb hub with 4 ports. I use the "squid" type with separate lines. It works well with recessed usb ports on toughbooks. I usually use one or two usb sticks with it and my usb sidewinder mouse.

    Thanks ohlip of course USB is Universal serial Bus not Parallele so necessary to open usb hub and put inside my Toughbook with HASP key connected and if it's needed for an other software two HASP key .

    I'm very happy to understand that ;)
