My limited experience in all three OSes (9, Aqua & Jaguar) have led me with this fact:
OS 9: no problems - fully hot-swappable with absolutely no problem with ejection OS 10.1.5-10.1.5: again, no problems (same as above) OS 10.2.2 & 10.2.3: no problems upon insertion, however the system has been known to hang upon ejection of the card from the both upper and lower slots. As of yet, I do not know what causes this to occur, but I would sure like a fix soon from Apple. Every single time I eject, it hangs, even if I'm shutting down my Wallstreet, it will cause operation to cease. The specs of my card as as follows: IOGEAR CardBus USB 2.0 Card (dual slots), model number GPU202 This card was purchased through TigerDirect.com. I would recommend them to anyone, especially Mac users. A great deal of their equipment is functional for both Apple and PeeCee users. I hope my 2 cents helps out here. - John On Thursday, December 26, 2002, at 09:29 PM, P.F.Grenier wrote: > > On Thursday, Dec 26, 2002, at 21:20 US/Eastern, Tan Guan Beng wrote: > >> Hi to all >> >> I wonder anyone has tried installing a USB (1.1 or 2.0)PC card on a >> Wall Street?
