Oh, what IS it with PI hats ... the plugs never accomodate a 2rd hat.
Arduino stuff can be a bit better in this respect.

I wondered about that. So far I don't have any hats, just the GPIO
extension board. It's nice to have things labeled. I got a couple more
Pico Ws yesterday and soldered female headers on one so I can read the
labels on the bottom of the board.  That is one nice thing about the Unos.

   Screw it ... ordered a 4-bay 2.5" external USB hub.

   KINDA shows up on scanning the PCIe but the drives
   simply will NOT !
   Sabrient has a 4-bay - kinda round with a fan on top.
   They also have one for M2's in case you're keen.

   Oh ... note the OpenMediaVault comes as a distro ONLY
   for AMD64 ... for ARM it's a 'plug in' but they've
   changed that so you HAVE to use the 'lite' Deb with

   Had to change usenet again, my old service is getting
   flakier and flakier.
