I am having fits trying to install a USB adapter in my Power Tower Pro. I would appreciate it if anyone out there has any suggestions for me.
Here are the specifications of my computer: Power Tower Pro 180 Sonnet G3/500 upgrade 148 Mb Ram Mac OS 9.1 Kouwell I/O Flex 5-Port PCI USB 2.0 Host Controller Zip 250 USB drive Here are the steps I have gone through: 1. Installed OS 9.1 (clean install on erased hard drive) 2. Installed USB adapter in PCI slot At this point, the USB card did not show up in the Apple System Profiler 3. Re-installed OS 9.1 USB files with USB card in PCI slot Now the USB card shows up in the System Profiler--although it is listed twice with the same slot number in each case?!?! 4. Install IOMEGA Zip disk software from CD included with Zip drive 5. Connect Zip drive to USB port At this point, no disk will show on the desktop and the IOMEGA tools says that no Zip drive is connected. 6. Download latest IOMEGA software 7. Uninstall old IOMEGA software and install the new software At this point, the Zip disk still doesn't show up on the desktop and IOMEGA tools says that there is no ZIP disk connected. 8. Try connecting to all four external USB ports. Still no disk on the desktop and IOMEGA tools still says there is no ZIP disk connected. IOMEGA support says that I may have a bad disk. I will get me a new, Mac formatted disk to check this out. The disk I have is PC formatted and it works fine with my PC at work. Does anybody have any other ideas for me?
