1. A switch for connecting a peripheral device to a downstream USB device, said switch comprising:
- a plurality of peripheral interfaces operably connectable to respective peripheral devices;
a USB downstream interface operably connectable to said downstream USB device, said downstream interface being adapted to simulate insertion and removal of an already inserted upstream USB device; and
a switcher for selectively establishing communication between a desired peripheral interface and said USB downstream interface.
