Multi-4/8 USB History ..................................................................................................................
What is USB MultiPort? USB is a complex word of “Universal”, meaning all peripheral devices use the same connector, and “Serial”, meaning devices are connected as a daisy chain through serial transmission. USB is an interface suggesting a solution to inconvenience and inefficiency caused by slow speed and limited device connection of existing external ports(serial or parallel).
