  While mooching around, I just came across this:

Now, I generally have a lot of time for Lindy, I'm struggling to see how
this is going to work. Still, it's a tenner; might be worth a shot.

resistor, IIRC) - so basically I was hoping that if the *input* current to
the hub was increased, that may be - as you suggest - directly wired to the
output ports.

just linked across from the wall-plug.
