I'm using an inexpensive USB board ( Inland stock # 08307 ) it is a usb 1.1
PCI card. I have a Logitec mouse hooked to it and an Epson 740i printer. At
first after installing it, My 8500 would not boot. It would hang just as all
of the extension icons would disappear from the boot screen and my HD icons
appeared. I went thru all the usual Zapping and rebuilding proceedures,
installed Apple's USB card support 1.4.1 still not getting rid of the hang.
intermittently it would boot all the way up and ASP would show the card
fine. I had noticed that the AV ribbon cable was rubbing against the USB
card tightly and decided to move the card into the bottom PCI slot
furtherest from the ribbon cable. All of my problems disappeared. The card
functions great. I suspected maybe that there was a reseat problem so I
reswapped back to the orig slot and problems came back. it was not the slot
because 4 other cards perform in it with no problems detected (firewire,
Ethernet, & (2) parallel cards. I have chalked it up to interferance from
the ribbon cable maybe due to low quality filtering on the USB inexpensive
card. Any ideas ? 8 weeks hard usage on the card in the bootom slot and
still no problems.
