It does get hot.
Hotter than normal? Could be a short circuit then. Measure the resistance between VCC and GND.
between the VCC and GND on those gold contacts under the text "Rev. 3.00" it does read 0.5ohms
What does that mean ?
just want to check: if the usb is modded to draw more than 500mA will a hub allow that (assuming you have it connected to sufficient power supply)?
I have only tested on the motherboard USB, Ill try with a transformer later today
