Finally an answer! I can use USB with system 8.1.....I might just delay
purchasing 8.5. Or are there advantages to 8.5 that make it worth it? And
just so this isn't just a comment, let me ask a question also.....I have 3
PCI slots (without taking the cover off) I think they're labeled C1 B1 and
A1 (I could be wrong) I have a 10/100 Asante Network card sitting in C1 and
on the Apple System Profiler, it's called Slot 1. I plan on putting the
Sonnet G3 upgrade card in this computer and it says "slot 1"......I sort of
assumed "slot 1 was going to be A1? or am I totally off?
