Hi,
I've seen cards similar that have a socket for an external PSU to power the devices. Have you seen any like this?
I would ask the manufacturer is it does have a current limiter as a blown voltage regulator is very bad news.
Cheers,
Paul.

Thanks Vic, I'll give it a go then.
It says the entire device is limited to 500mA, whereas USB 2 should
allow that for each port. OTH it has a current limiter so no lasting
damage should be caused.
