Access states that the Virus Ti should not be used with a usb hub, but the Virus is only usb 1.1, isn't it? Does anyone know if it will work with a usb 2.0 hub?

A hub is a hub....it concerns the bandwith it has to share with other USB devices....not the type.

Yes, and a USB 2.0 hub has a bandwidth of 480 Mb/s, and since the Virus requires 12.5 Mb/s (I think), there should be plenty of extra. However, factors other than bandwidth may be significant.

Ti uses USB v2.

I think it's best not to share TI with other USB devices via USB hubs. So that priority is given to the TI connection alone, instead of sharing bandwidth and interrupts.
