Sat Jul 26, 2014 9:45 am

must ask qrestions about the B+ model

1. Is the B+ ethernet port limited to ~25megabit or is that fixed?
2. The more USB connectors the more problems you will have with powering the device Whats the maximum mW/mA that you can have connected to this 4 ports.
3. Whats the form factor now.. Old was 85x56mm
4. can i still use my mobile charger 5v 1A or do i have to buy a 5v 2A charger

1) Ethernet port is the same as before, and is plumbed through the USB channel in to the SoC.
2) 1.2A at 5v spread over the 4 ports.
3) Pretty much same as before - the connectors are in a different place.
4) Yes, although 2A will supply more USB devices.
