Hello, PCI-PM'ers, I am trying to get the new HP Deskjet printer I bought for my wife running on her PM 8500. I bought an IOGEAR GCI220U board, seeing that it supports OS 8.6 and above (she's running 9.1), but found that it has drivers only for OS X.
When I called IOGEAR (after purchase -- BAD mistake), they pointed out to me that their website says the board requires a G3 or better under the hood. Buy.com's web page made no mention of the requirement... I shoulda checked the mfr's site. IOGEAR tech support said that their C2XC01 board would work in my 8500 IF its PCI slots are 32-bit. The 8500 manual from Apple: http://manuals.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Manuals/desktops/0309028APM 8500UM.PDF says that cards must be "compliant with the PCI 2.0 standard." Question 1: Are the slots in the 8500 32-bit? Question 2 (better late than never <lopsided grin>): So what board do you folks use for USB 1.1 in your PCI-PM?
