USB Hub Problem

    I know, I know "don´t hook the TI to a hub"!
    Problem: I have only ONE usb port at my macbook because I shot the other one. I know that there was a trick to run the TI on an iMac which included some command line prompting. To make the situation even worse: I have Windows7 installed on my macbook. Is there any possible way to get the TI running on my hub?
    Another thing bothers me: The fried usb port works with osx an winxp but not with windows7. I don´t blame Access for this because this is a really strange and rare combination but perhaps you have some good ideas!
    Thanks a lot.
