No, what would it use for drivers? IOgear says use the Apple USB drivers. They claim its compliant. > >> >> Try different PCI slots.

This window should give you some clues. I'll try this next. (didn't know about the USB alerts). It seems that System profiler knows the card is there but for some reason the System doesn't know to turn on USB controls for the card, so the card isn't activated and nothing on the USB chain is noticed. -- I only have the USB card and the video card installed. USB is in #1 spot video in #3 spot. switched them played with it in all spots, before /after video card. Same results no good. John -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
