Re: USB in an 8600/300

[Carolyn Shere]

Yes, USB is recognized under 8.6, but you do need a system extension 
that probably is not installed. It is an easy download from Apple and 
is called USB  device extension or USB support or something like 
that. The version I have is 1.4.1. There may be a later version but 
that may be for later versions of OS.

In other words, install your USB card, download and install extension 
into your system's extension folder, plug in your USB devices, and 
have fun with all your new toys. I have added a USB hub to my card 
because I have so much (2 printers, Wacom graphics tablet, trackball, 
camera card reader). By the way, it is not necessary to  do it in the 
order I listed. I had everything plugged in before I knew about 
adding the extension.

:

I bought a USB PCI card that I am planning to install in an 8600/300 with
8.6. How would I go about doing this, including software info, etc.
Basically what I need is some step by step instruction.

Thanks.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but isn't USB recognized under 8.6? 
meaning you install the card restart the machine and it should work 
right?
