I have a 333 mhz Beige G3 tower with an Orange Micro Firewire - USB card.
I do not use the firewire port because I do not have any firewire devices.
I need the USB port to read my USB card reader for my smart media card for my digital camera.
I has some trouble a while back and had to re install OS 9.2. Now OS 9.2 will not use the USB card, so I downloaded the Orange Micro software
drivers and installed them with no luck.
Make sure the USB support extensions are there. You may need to custom install them or extract them with Tome Viewer. Remove the Orange Micro drivers.
OS X (10.2.6) will read the USB card and my USB keyboard works as well as my USB hub, but OS X WILL NOT READ THE SMART MEDIA CARD.
If, per your later message, it will read one card, but not the other, then it's not the USB card, the reader or your system, it's the card itself. Sometimes reformatting the card in the camera helps. (unless of course, you need to get the data off the card...does your camera itself connect to the computer? Can you find someone else with a usb port that you can connect your reader to?)
