VE.Direct port expander

With the additional devices using VE.Direct, 3 ports is not enough in many cases. A USB VE.Direct adapter per VE.Direct port is certainly an option but costs add up and the need for a powered USB hub running off battery voltage becomes necessary rapidly.

I suggest a version of the VE.Direct to USB adapter be made that has something on the order of 4 VE.Direct ports be created.

I'd also like to see a Cerbo-like GX device with more USB ports since the demand for these is also increasing.

@Kevin Windrem I found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Tzxd2UQoDM a while ago which looks just what is needed. Last time I looked they were out of stock but i am on a wait list. I hope it will get also round all the problems of random allocation of VE-Direct USB ports after a Firmware update.
