Flash Drive Issue

I have a Sony monitor that has 4 USB ports on it. Earlier tonight I stuck a 3rd flash drive in and it came up (name shown: Kingston I). I saved 2 files to it and was saving a 3rd when I saw a message saying something about it being removed and the files might be messed up {I forget the exact messa

I had problems before where a USB Hub might have been a better choice, but ... Out of curiosity, since I'd replaced my QS 2002 Dual mobo, I'm again trying my adaptec Duoconnect AUA-3020A USB 2.0 / FW400 PCI card alongside my M-Audio 2496 PCI audio card. Seems to be functioning - playing bac

Re: USB Hub versus PCI Card?

Howdy, A hub is cheap, and works for a lot of things. What do you want to plug in? Each USB hub on the computer can drive .5 amps. If you are plugging in multiple devices that need power, you may need a powered hub or the pci card. Not all PCI USB cards work in the Mac. Look in the archive

USB Hub versus PCI Card?

Hello, I have a G4 MDD that only came with 2 (4 if you count the keyboard) usb ports. I am not very concerned with the 1.0 versus 2.0, so considering that - my question is this: Should I get a usb pci card or just a usb hub? If I do get a pci card are they specific to the platform (i.e. mac
