Ok so i have have the Zboard.. and it has two USB ports on the top right. BUT when i plug something into the ports my computer says that there is not enough power in those ports. is there a way to throw more power that way?

i also just bought the Cyborg Command Unit and i was wondering if you ther was a way to adjust the bottom portion of it.. it looks as if it can be but i cant seem to do it.. the thumb part moves tho..

you have a power managment in your device manager for your usb slots, you can turn it on or off, but the only way i know of to get MORE power is to update the drivers if there are any avaliable...i dunno why this works but it does.

WRONG. What that is telling you is that the device behind the zboard requires more power than the self-powered hub built into the zboard is providing. Typically, that means you need a powered hub to plug it into. Which means the zboard won't do it unless it has an available AC power adapter you can plug in.

Some laptops throttle USB power.
