If it's 9 then it'll be 0.

It would be A if the last letter on your mac was F.

To be perfectly honest, just ;eave the USB MAC. In my experience it doesnt affect anything.

Exclamation Re: usb mac help needed

how can it be 0 as the chart below shows hex with decimal

Hex Decimal

0 0
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 6
7 7
8 8
9 9
A 10
B 11
C 12
D 13
E 14
F 15

my mac ends in 9 so i need to add 1 to 9 which equals 10 in decimal and A in hexadecimal and the mac is represented in hexadecimal correct me if i am wrong
