True, I'd forgotten about the existence of hubs (though they're not
particularly useful if you're in a remote location with no auxiliary
power supply and just your laptop - but this is stretching reality a
bit). In any case, my laptop's built-in USB ports have very good
voltages on them, and I think the Cardbus ports I got do too, though I
haven't done any real measurements on that.

Eh, just an idea (not a particularly good one).
