Re: [PCI] USB Card in 5500

[David Klaus]

This tends to happen with 4 port USB cards in older PCI macs.   Your 
best bet is to find a 2 port USB 1.1 card (OS 9 does not support USB 
2) and avoid any card that says it requires a G3 or B&W mac.   I have 
had a lot of luck with SIIG USB 1.1 two port cards in my StarMax and 
PM 9600.

Re: USB Card in 5500
Thanks to suggestions from listers, I installed the PCI USB card first and
then did a clean install of 9.1 to preserve my old SF.  The USB related
extensions appeared in the new SF.  I copied these across, reblessed the old
system, rebooted and USB was live ...
Unfortunately only one of the 4 ports on the USB card is active but with a
hub I can run several devices.
Its not that important but can anyone think why only 1 of the ports works?
Apple System Profiler sees 4 PCI ports (All called A1 USB card) and 4 USB
channels (All called USB 0 1.4.6)
Thanks
Peter
