Great, thank you. 

It looks like it connects to the computer using USB 2.0, is that correct? 
So it shouldn't be a problem to connect three of them to a single backend, and then I can just build a system that has a load of USB 2.0 ports, and not worry about PCI slots?

Interesting. I will have to look in to that. 

Thanks for the info!
