I think when I bought it - they said it would work - but thats been a couple of years ago. I just pulled out the box and documentation and it says a mac that takes 8.6 or better no other requirements. I have a DuoConnect Adaptec on a 233 Beige Tower that works good but I looked at that documentation and it says Rev B - thats must be why it works. What would be the "right" card for the 233 Rev A??? This getting to be a real aggravating bottleneck. Thanks, Linda

Your 233 is a Rev.1 Beige, and the OrangeMicro card is only for Rev.B and beyond. It won't work on PowerMac 7200-9600 or Rev.1 Beige. Here's a copy of the FAQ from the OrangeMicro site (http://www.orangemicro.com/orangelinkmacfaqs.html#Anchor-47857): ------------------------------------------------------ Q: I have a pre-G3 Power Macintosh computer, an OrangeLink USB 2.0/FireWire PCI card (95PCB00112) and the drivers seem to be installed properly but I cannot get any devices to work. Why? A: The OrangeLink USB 2.0/FireWire PCI card (95PCB00112) is compatible with the Macintosh All-in-one G3, Power Macintosh Beige G3 rev. B or later, Power Macintosh Blue & White G3, and Power Macintosh G4 series computers. There is an incompatibility between the OrangeLink USB 2.0/FireWire PCI card (95PCB00112) and all other PCI based Macintosh computers. ------------------------------------------------------ If you get a new FW card, avoid NEC chipsets, they will corrupt data. Look for TI (Texas Instruments) chipsets, which are best by far. USB2 only works with Panther forward, so unless you're running Panther, you can forget about USB2 completely. Even with Panther, some USB2 cards don't work correctly. There is a Lacie firmware update available for the Lacie Firewire enclosure, make sure you have the latest installed (http://www.lacie.com/support/drivers/).
