>> but I always understood that USB 2 doesn't work easily, if at all, on 0S 8.6 to 9.1.
The Box of the Belkin card actually says that it is compatible with Mac OS 8.6. Just at USB 1.1 speeds. But, I agree that USB 2.0 is a bad idea and could be part of the problem. I fear that USB 2.0 cards may only be compatible at USB 1.1 speeds with the Beige G3 and above. I only think this because it pops up in the requirements of some of the more reputable cards. This is probably because it has a new rom that adds support for these cards or it could be that the Beige G3 has a new PCI standard. If any one has a Beige G3 maybe they can tell us what PCI Standard it is. It would be something like 2.x. The 7200 is 2.0. 1.0 was never released just a theoretical version. 2.0 is the first released version of PCI. 2.1 is what most cards say they are compatible with. 2.2 I think is the latest, but the basic PCI standard seems to be dying with the advent of PCI Express or similar anyway. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
