| You don't really need to take up a slot with a card. You can simply get a USB hub which plugs into your 1 USB port adding 2 to 5 additional USB ports. Most computer supply store should carry them... |

| If you get a hub, make sure it's powered (aka, comes with an external power adapter). Otherwise, you'll have a problem with devices such as the tablet which take their power through the USB connection. |

Surely you do not require the scanner to be permanently "online" right" scanning takes little time, drawing takes a lot.
unplug the scanner, keep the tablet plugged in, when you need to scan, simply unplug the tablet, plug in the scanner and scan.
I swear to Dog, it's really easy ...  |

You really only have 1 usb port? Did you check everywhere? I just recently found 2 more on the front of my tower to make a total of 4.
Hope it works out for ya.
