It's a driver issue, plain and simple. Apple hasn't released generic USB 2.0 drivers yet. Some vendors are selling USB 2.0 cards for the Mac (Orange Micro, Sonnet) but they're including drivers. Only USB devices that explicitly support USB 1.1 will work, USB 2.0-only devices simply won't function. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
