Chuck, Just a follow-up to my last post.
I followed the link in your post and downloaded and installed the usb drivers. They worked like a charm. I plugged in my logitech cordless optical mouse and it worked like a charm. I guess I found a use for that old USB card after all. I have 2 more powercenter 120s at work. I think I'll put a usb card in each one. Thanks again. BTW, it is nice not being chained to that corded mouse on my macintosh. /smiles. > From: Chuck Stinnett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (Power Computing List) > Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2003 02:34:45 -0600 > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (Power Computing List) > Subject: Re: PCI USB Cards > > Installing the Apple USB driver has enabled me to use not just one, but two > PCI USB cards simultaneously in my PowerTower.
