The LCD imac has 3 usb ports controlled by 2 separate root hubs... one root hub connects to 2 ports and the other connects to one and the internal 56k modem..... etc etc.

Which one of the 3 ports is shared with the modem? (or, rephrased: which ports corespond to which root hubs?....... does that make sense?)

I have a usb device that I dont want on the same root hub as another and I don't know which ports are on separate controllers.

I appreciate your help sorting this out!

Confused,
David

Try opening up Apple System Profiler and going to the "Devices and Volumes" tab.

^What he said.

If you can't find out that way, I think the one closest to the modem is on the same one as the modem.

PS. Why don't you want them on the same bus?

Ah yes thank you... Apple system profiler helped nicely. Good ol' system profiler!
