   I was more concerned with the number of occupied slots on the DEChub
than with the number of peripheral devices.  If I had a DEChub with one
DECserver 90M and seven empty slots, and a bad power supply, I think
that I'd be looking for a 5V, 2A (or more) power supply and an
appropriate connector (as on an old mouse?) to replace the DEChub.

   In fact, the last time I found an Ebay bargain on a pile of
DECservers (and some other less useful slabs), they came with a
DEHUB-AX REV B01 with an H7876-AA attached.  Which I've now had for some
years, and never plugged in.  If you're crazy enough, I could try it
out, and see if my power supply is better than yours.  But, as I said,
for one DECserver, I'd discard the enormous DEChub, and get a little 5V
power adapter for the now-loose DECserver.
