Craig,

"Just buy our more expensive card." What a convenient "fix" on their part. I
don't know how many items I had in or attached to my 9600 that stated "g3
minimum" and worked just fine when it had a 604ev.

Did you download and install the USB extensions set from Apple's website?

problematic in pre-g3 Macs.
