My wife uses a laptop (supplied by her employer); other than that
I have 1 PC and 2 Sun Rays with UNIX layour type 6 and one Sun Ray 2
with Unix type 7 (all USB) Most with logitec scroll mice
(Sun was very late in adopting the scroll mouse) but one with the type 7
mouse.

Yes, the type 7 keyboard has a builtin unpowered hub with three USB
connectors (one hidden in the location where type 5 used to have the
mouse connector)
