I know this has been discussed on the list before, but perhaps someone has new information...
Is there any way to adapt a USB device to a PowerBook 5300? I know that most PCMCIA cards are out because this PowerBook is not CardBus-compliant. Are there any 16-bit USB PC-card adapters? I have searched and have yet to find one. I tried to use an iMate USB-ADB adapter (by Griffin Technology) in reverse, using an old ADB keyboard cable to connect it with the 5300's ADB port. I connected a USB mouse to the iMate through a USB gender-changer, installed the mouse driver, and it did not work at all. The iMate's own driver does not load without any USB or PCI bus present, but Griffin says it is not necessary for mice and keyboards anyway. I know there are USB-SCSI adapters, but I doubt they could be used to connect a mouse or keyboard. Any advice for me? Thanks. - Josh -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
