Hi All, Anyone in the group had experience with using a PCMCIA card to provide extra USB ports on a Powerbook?
I have a Bronze Powerbook G3, 333, running OS 9.2.1. I also a variety of USB devices. I have a Belkin pocket hub, my Scanner, Keyspan serial Adaptor and video capture device all run fine on it. The Epson C60 printer, Iomega external CD burner and 20 gig external drive all want to be plugged into a real port to work reliably. I get the same results with or without the Belkin power supply. I imagine that I would get similar results from any external Hub. I was thinking that I could pick up a PCMCIA card to give me some extra ports that may be more reliable. A quick look on ebay turns up a variety of cards, most of them seem to only come with windows drivers though. I can live with re plugging when required but I would prefer to find a more elegant solution. Regards, Paul "Allow me to explain about the theatre business.
