I could use rtorrent with screen to download stuff to an external hard
drive..
But I will check on that when I find the time to open the case.
Regarding USB ports --
if you find an old USB 1.0 card laying around, I bet it would work fine.
USB2.0 cards...you might find the card expects a newer version of the
PCI bus than your machine has...but you may get lucky or I may be
completely wrong. :)
You are right. Some PCI USB 2.0 controller cards work pretty well in my 486
and Pentium machines. Other do not. If it works, the transfer speed are
lower than in newer systems because of slower CPU.
Hi,
What vendor and product IDs those cards have?
Can I have the dmesg snippet?
Some others could be interested in this too, so I am posting it on the
list.
It is a Belkin F5U219 PCI REV:4, the chip is NEC JAPAN D720101GJ.
NEC USB host controllers usually work.
It is a 3-port card (2+1 internal), there is also a 5-port (4+1) variant
existing. The important part about its specs is: it is PCI 2.1 compatible,
while many others list only PCI 2.2.
In my experience, most common cheap USB 2.0 PCI cards do not work as USB
2.0, but run well as USB 1.1. You have to disable the ehci(4) driver in
the kernel, otherwise the USB 2.0 device attaches to ehci* and fails. See
the VIA VT6212L as an example below.
