Is it possible to daisy-chain 2 USB hubs on MiSTer?

The one in my case is 4 ports but I could do with an extra slot - (A larger hub wouldn't fit in my 'unique' case.

Could I plug another USB hub into this and would it be ok / work?

ty!

Yep. My setup has two USB hubs linked by a 3 m extension cable.

Thanks for the info - I ask as I tried it yesterday and the KB and mouse I had plugged into the second USB were very jittery. Mouse and KB would lose connection every other second.

I wondered if it was a USB3 into USB2 thing?

I might try another USB dongle.

Yes. The theoretical max devices for USB is like 127 devices (including hubs).

I got a Internal PC Hub attached to my MiSTer USB board.

I picked out an old USB2 from a drawer and it works fine... the USB3 I previously tried plugging in was very intermittent - odd.

All good now though.
