Thanks for the feedback Steve.

So in other words the USB Ports works okay for multiple devices as long 
as you aren't trying to run 2 or more instances of the USB sound fobs 
used by Allstar nodes?

Good to know. I was wanting to run some USB serial stuff as well as a 
single Allstar node on a RPi4.

Realize they fixed the USB C power thing but didn't know what exactly 
the issue was with the other USB ports.

Guess it's time to Buy and TRY (grin) Thanks!
