in help: portable bus-powered USB hard drives on revjim.net
WD Passport with MacBook Pro and short USB cable works fine.
On Windows, old FireWire Direct drive works fine with short cable but fails with longer (Blackberry) cable. Maxtor has problems with its short Y-cable but works partially with longer cable.

ports and the cable. I am now able to get a WD Passport and an
Acomdata drive working on 3 different machines with only one USB port.
Just took a lot of trial and error to figure it out.
