Anyone have any experience with any that work. All I read are horror stories and flaky performance with the ones out there.

Even a 4-port USB 2.0 hub from Belkin I have did not work. Would not see the Apple USB SuperDrive. Going on a trip 3rd week of December and no way can I get by with just two USB ports. (My music software alone requires two dedicated USB copy protection dongles)

Thanks in advance.

I have the perfect solution, download all of your music without DRM like I have been doing since 1999. They're called "mp3." Then you can use whatever player you want, on any OS, copy them freely to multiple devices and not have to worry about USB dongles.

Lloyd
LOL!

Justin, I don't think he's talking about software quite that simplistic. Look up Avid ProTools sometime.

I'm not sure if he is using that particular one.

Justin
OK... just checked up on it. There's a crack out there that allows it to run without the dumbass dongle. Since he already paid for the software it is his right to be able to use it.

So let's see. In order to circumvent Apple's piss-poor implementation of a technology that's been available for years in Windows (they still haven't gotten FW right *yet*), we need to go through illegal channels in order to make it work.

They "just work" those Macs, eh?
