listers does anyone know what version the pci ports are in this model (assuming she means beige G3). janice if the pci port is not 2.0 compatible you need to go to older card and extensions. on my 9500 w/ usb 1.2 card/pci ports i have under OS 9.1 extensions usb card support 1.4.6 usb support 1.4.6 these two relate to card support, there are also others for storage, monitors, printers that may be in extensions if you need help finding the correct extension, email off list and i'll see if i can find it. charles lenington oklahoma city -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
