Does anyone have some recommendations for a PCI USB card that will work in a G4 MDD running 10.4.11? I'm using here a 3-bus, 5 (plus 1 internal)-port USB 2.0 PCI card with a central NEC processor chip. It workd pretty fine in Mac OS 9 (it works like a USB 1.1 card) and in Mac OS X (where it works with is full USB 2.0 capacity). -- MaGioZal @ São Paulo, Brazil. http://magiozal.blogspot.com/ --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

I was running at the time Mac OS 9 + Mac OS 10.2 on a Beige G3, and both systems did not recognized it. The driver doesn't work under OS 9 at all, it's strictly OS X. If you notice, there are multiple versions of the OS X driver, one for each version of OS X. I suspect you installed the driver for 10.3 10.4 on a 10.2 system? Perhaps try again by deleting the driver you installed and using the correct version. You'd need to click the tiny Old Drivers link of the page I posted and use the v.1.10 for Jaguar or 1.50 driver for Panther. The 1.60 driver was for Tiger. OS 10.2 isn't very good for USB, both Panther and Tiger are large improvements for USB. The Beige G3 isn't very good for PCI cards (the Beige has a PCI 1.0 bus, whereas almost all PCI cards are PCI 1.1 or newer, so some VIA USB cards won't work, but it's not the fault of the driver or the card, it's the fault of the PCI bus on the Mac). --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
