TI's chip set is the gold standard for USB 2.0, but later VIAs work as well. However, early VIAs may not work. NEC, as Renesas (sp ?), is the gold standard for USB 3.0 chip sets. Indicia on chips is applied by laser etching, not by ink or paint. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
