Hi,
I have purchased a 4 port USB PCMCIA card for my Powerbook 1.25
It has the VIA chipset and doesn't work.
I have been using another 4 port PCMCIA card that is virtually the
same but it has the NEC chipset.
The NEC chipset has worked well but 2 of the ports have become
flaky so needs replacing.
I've check the VIA driver page and found "Note for Mac OS users -
MAC OS 10.2.8 or later
version has native support for USB 2.0 including VIA's VT6202."
VT6202 is mentioned in the limited documentation that came with it.
I suspect Apple may have dropped support for the VIA but not the NEC.
Is there way of checking if my Mac still supports the VIA chipset?
Thank you
Brian Scott

Is your Power book a G5 or G4 ?
There is a G4 USB2 driver from this location :

Thanks Bob but I've been there a couple of times but there's no
driver there.
It's where I eventually got "Note for Mac OS users - MAC OS 10.2.8 or
later version has native support for USB 2.0 including VIA's VT6202."
and you poke about you also find "Support for the VIA Vectro VT6202
is built into Microsoft Windows XP and Windows 2000"
I'm buying a used 4 port PCMCIA card that's been working in a
Powerbook off a wamugger this evening so hopefully this driver
frustration will go away.
Thanks
Brian
