see my edited post (use Y-cables)

You mean like these:

The idea being to split the amp load over two ports?

idea is correct, but i ordered mine on aliexpress as they had beasts with super-thick USB 3.0 cable when compac came about.
I think that I used Anker for it, but run it via Linux PC, which was so much easier to setup than Win.
the result was Compac (not 2pac) that was going at above 24Gh and I had to extensively cool it with a Vornado fan at 2in distance.
I don't have free Linux PC available at the moment. Might try and see if i can get something like this going with 2Pac.

Those are still available if I am correct and you can still get decent Ycables for around a buck a pop on AliExpress. Amazon is just full of resellers if you really need it quick. I got one of my 2pacs to 35GH/S easily with one and I could get it higher if I wanted.

Won't 2 usb2 tails only yield 1a total?  At least the usb3 + usb2 models will yield 1.4a, unless I am mistaken (totally possible).
