It's always a crapshoot on cheap cases with unknown chipsets. Perhaps you can dig around the web and find what chipsets these use. I've had really bad luck with generic dual FW400/USB2 cases. Normally I get one with an Oxford chipset for the Firewire, but then the USB 2.0 has not worked at all. I've had at least two different cases with Oxford Firewire chipsets (which always work perfect for me), that have had completely non-functional USB 2.0. One had the ALi M5621 chipset. One had other brand, perhaps Prolific that didn't work for me. OWC has models guaranteed to work with Macs. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
