I discovered (after lengthy discussion with the maker, etc) that the Iomega USB 2.0 card I bought was only compatible with systems with G3 CPU's, no matter what devices I connected. In my 8500, the card showed up in Apple System Profile, but no attached devices did.
I don't remember (if I ever knew) what the chip set was. Perhaps there are chip sets other than VIA that don't work. A better guide would be a chipset that _does_ work. -- Joshua On 12/21/05 6:07 PM, "Ben Pazolli" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I had the same problem and we had a lengthy discussion about it.
