usb active extension cable
I was wondering if anyone has tried and Active extension usb cable with their newer apple computer
running latest snow leopard. I just received a 16 foot cable that seems to only work with a printer and keyboards or mice even though it is supposed to work with HD's. None of my external HDD's (3 of them) come up on the desktop or in Disk utility when searching for them.

Are your external hard drives powered by USB, or do they have separate power adapters? I ask because maybe that cable isn't capable of passing through enough electricity for the drives...
