Yes, maybe it is true that USB 2.0 is beyond the capability of a legacy Mac., but wouldn't FireWire (either FW400-800) be equally as unobtainable as far as supposedly too slow PCI speed goes?
I know it's not in my PowerTower Pro has FireWire 400 that works. is that classed as a Legacy Mac. or not? What's going on there then?
Cheers,.... Colin.

Colin,
USB 2.0 peripherals may work on a legacy PCI Mac. But at the USB 1.x speed.
I think the same may apply to the Firewire peripherals as far as I know.
I run a combined Firewire / USB 2.0 card in my 9600 . I get dropped video frames and speed MAY be the problem . I don't know for sure.
You will note in my last message I said " At 3:16 PM -0400 7/5/04, Fluxstringer wrote:

The key part here is " 800 " I believe the legacy PCI slots do not support this transfer speed.
And as before, I would gladly be wrong on this.
