The Minimons are power from the USB port and can be close to the maximum power that can be delivered from a USB port. This is why they ship with a cable that can connect to 2 USB ports on the laptop.
If you get a 5m Y-cable so you can get 2xUSB power from the PC or USB Hub, it should work, as long as there is not too much power lost over the cable. Wim |
