The Belkin looks good at $9. Whatever you do, make sure it's 2.0 and not "2.0 compatible." I bought this one from "we love macs" http://www.welovemacs.com/uh241.html after reading the line "Supports USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices at full speed " They charged for shipping and of course I'd have to pay

USB 2.0 for a G4 MDD?

I just got my first MDD... and wow, I'm amazed how good it is. I was expecting something that could barely run leopard like my G4 800 iBook. So not the case. The big thing lacking here is USB 2. There are a lot of cheap (I mean really cheap) USB 2 PCI cards out there, but I'm worried that it's goi

And do you have the same generator he does? Or are you familiar enough with the output of the generator he has to make the claim? All generators are NOT created equal. Some produce MUCH cleaner output than others. Spikes and surges can destroy sensitive electronics. Square Wave-producing gener

I'm getting a kernel panic after installing 10.4.11 on a G4 tower. After that it won't reboot. I'm not sure which model it is except that it has 100Mhz bus and it has 832mb of ram. Everything seemed to be going fine until 10.4.11. I started out putting OS9 on it and then OSX then it kernel panicked
