Re: data transfer so sllooowwww on G4 MDD?
I bought a new Real USB 2.0, 3 port (i said 4) card from Computer Renaissance for $19.99. It says it's for Windows 98 threw XP. No Mac listed anywhere. But it was plug-n-play. I just don't use the driver c.d. (it's for windon't) that came with it. Tested it, 7.5gb in 3 mins or so (unlike 8 hours for USB 1.0)... S I don't think it's the card, it's the drivers. I'm using tiger 10.4.11 all updated. In about this Mac, it's seeing as a Hi-Speed USB. Sent from my iPhone On Mar 24, 2010, at 6:20 PM, Albert Carter wrote: This is interesting. This card doesn't designate it works with Macs or not. Can you put in any USB 2.0 card and it will work? If this is the case what cards besides video cards are Mac Specific. I guess controller cards would be as well. From: JoeTaxpayer To: G-Group Sent: Wed, March 24, 2010 6:25:31 PM Subject: Re: data transfer so sllooo on G4 MDD?

Re: data transfer so sllooowwww on G4 MDD?
It's wired with home sharing on, but I just want to have it as a back up on other computers. Got my 4 port Real USB 2.0 PCI today, $19.99 new from computer store, and installed it in my G4 MDD. 7.5gb's took like 3 mins, or so (not 8 hours as with USB 1.0). Woot Woot!!!

True. I'm home sharing my iTunes between my Mac Mini, G5 and want to put it on my Power Mac G4 MDD. USB 1.0 sucks.

Welcome to the family
I like to welcome to my family to go along with my G5 and Mac Mini, two G4's. Both dual and one is a MDD. Had to reset passwords on both, plus open firmwear password on the MDD. Thank goodness for the forms. With the help of the forms and god, "Get R done".
