Okay, so I've gotta have the most problematic 2400 out there. Actually, I think its because I just got it and the first thing I did was a clean install of 9.1 so I had all the cool parts and no drivers. Anyway
So I have this Macally USB card. I put it in, it comes up blank etc. I download Apple's USB card stuff that I used to install a USB card in an 8500 and a beige G3. It won't install on this computer (apparently). Not daunted, I pull out my trusty friend TomeViewer. I put all but two of the extensions straight into my extensions folder. One of them (SerialShimLib) I had a newer version installed. The other one I had an older version installed (HID Library). I installed the new HID Library, and voila, on reboot my 2400 wouldn't. With extensions off, I rebooted and switched to the old version. Yay, its boots. Now I insert the card and it is no longer blank, it says "USB" and has the icon. How pretty it is. However, on boot it came up with a message saying that the USB Extension had not been enabled (and to read the DDK, whatever that is). I figure perhaps I have to have the card installed. So I reboot with the card in, and it won't go past the "Welcome to MacOS" screen. It doesn't get to the marching INITs or the progress bar. Apple System Profiler doesn't see the USB card, but I'm not sure if it should Thanks Aqua ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
