Probably the whole thing. However, you said "[several] devices that could
be hung on a single feed." So your original statement sounded much more
like you were talking about the number of USB devices that could be
connected to one port in a continuous chain. Your second statement, the
supposed "quote," sound more like what I said, although both of your
statments are vague and technical.
