No, it's a 4 port, but not oval. Pretty rectangular.

Oh no, I've never even tried to connect the drives or ipods via the  
hub.  The hub has the UPS, the printers, and the trackball only.

I actually don't use the card reader anymore as the one on the C3180  
works just fine through the hub.  It is only scanning that is a problem.

Yeah, that would be good, but for $0 the price was right.  It even  
takes the same ink as I used to use on my 5150, so I've yet to spend  
a single cent on this printer other than the cost of paper.
