You *might* be able to get the USB port to go into "low-power" mode, at
which point it wouldn't have enough power to drive the led.

You *might* be able to use a LED on something else, too. See:

But wouldn't putting a small LCD status display on the front of each
machine be a better idea?

cheers, Rich.
