Re: Best USB 2.0 PCI card for Quicksilver?
From: tonycd I thought of Belkin; I know from experience their quality is usually good. Have you run into any of the sleep mode problems, etc?

Any ideas which I should want? I bought a Belkin one for my QS and it has been great for years. Often wondered about this? But in my case I think I had sleep issues from my set up independent of the card - I run screens from two display cards (one is probably a flashed PC card). I just never set sleep on the computer itself. I set screensaver and display sleep though... -- dorayme --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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 bought a Belkin from one of the big box stores many years ago. That USB 2.0/1.1 combo card with Firewire 400 has worked on every Mack and Hack I have owned. If it says OHCI on the box, it is probably good to go. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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've heard ones with NEC chipsets are best, but have no experience with them. The only one I've used have had the VIA chipset which works, but requires special extensions, which I believe are PPC only, not universal. I believe NEC chipset cards work natively. Also, AFAIK there are no USB 2.0 cards that work with OS 9, they are strictly OS X. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.

The worse cause hangs / kernel panics. I've noticed some cards are also sensitive to level of OS X. Something about 10.5 ... If I remember correctly, Sonnet Tech recently told me their Tango 2 is working under 10.5.6 on his MDD: http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tango_2.html or for USB 2 only: http://www.sonnettech.com/product/allegro_usb2.html I've liked the Sonnet Tech support. Will admit the cards are a little pricey.

Although all cards claim to be OHCI compatible, not all cards will work on all systems. I have, however, found a few cards which will work on PPC and Intel (even Intel Hackintoshes), and some of those also have Firewire (which most Intel Hackintoshes don't have). The most flexible card which I have is a very old Creative I/O card which has a single-chip ALI solution, and it has USB 1.1/2.0 and Firewire 400, and it works on an Intel Hackintosh as well as a PPC Macintosh. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.
