USB Buyer/End-User Considerations • Depending on development schedules, and what major applications you run, the next USB device you need to connect may be one or more software security dongles. Several already exist, and they are very appealing to ISVs, as they provide even more capability, at lower cost, than was available in the days of the HP 46084A HP-HIL ID Module. • The new SPUs have two USB ports. Both ports are used by the required input devices. If you add any USB devices, you will need a hub. None are officially supported yet, but so far, every hub we've tested has worked. • Some random USB devices simply work. HP-UX does not strictly reject unknown/unsupported devices. However, do not assume that any random "plug&play" USB device from a PC reseller will work - many will not - for example, HP USB scanners don't (no Class driver, no application port). • At time of publication, WSY had not located a USB console switch (or even a simple USB mechanical switch) to test.
