OS9 is not actually required. MacOS 8.6 supports Apple's USB 1.4.x (the latest), and FireWire 2.3 (not the latest) ships with my copy of MacOS 8.6. >Has anyone had good or bad experiences of particular brands of such >combo cards? I suggest you get an Orange Micro or Sonnet brand card. The 6500 has a firmware bug related to PCI bridges; only these two vendors ship the patch to support the 6500 with their USB+FW combo cards. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
