I tried a Belkin 2-port USB 2.0 Card that is supposed to work in mac os 8.6 and above. I tried it in my 7200 and a friends 7300 running mac os 8.6. Both times with USB adapter card support 1.4.1 installed. Both times I got the same problem. I have now tried 3 usb drives, 1 printer and 2 mouses (one being pulled from a G5). Belkin support won't help me, only replace the card. Apple won't help me because my OS is too old. The fact that it is the same problem leads me to believe that I am doing something wrong that may be fairly straight forward. Is there something I have to do for a USB device to work, I have just been plugging it in.
Arnel I will try reinstalling any USB support that came with Mac OS 9.1 but I have little hope of it working. It also is not giving me any warning messages of any kind. The only change in the running of my machine is that if I go into the system profiler it tells me I have a USB card connected.
