Hi,
 maybe I'm just slow, but I'm having a lot of trouble imagining a single po=
rt
 that could have multiple cables plugged in at the same time.  And this
 blockage is stopping me from reflecting usefully on your other points.

 Are you able to show me a picture or a diagram or something so I can
 visualise what you are talking about?
 To me: once you plug one cable into a port, it is full and there is no room
 for any more cables.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
