Tech support for the new card wasn't much help but what they suggested was to remove the USB drivers/extensions, remove the card and re-install in a different slot, then re-install the USB extensions. Might work for you. Didn't for me and no one knows why.

Andrew,
I just noted that you are using a Kouwell I/O Flex 5-Port PCI USB 2.0 Host
Controller.
I recall that another manufacturer (Belkin?), on its 4- or 5-port USB PCI
cards, said in its specs that it required at least a B&W G3. I asked the
list a year or two ago about this, and received confirmations from others
that indeed, that card wouldn't work in a Power Computing machine.
Can you get your hands on a 2-port card (I've picked them up for about $10)
and see if it works?

Thanks for the suggesion, Chuck. I just downloaded the Apple USB driver and
installed it. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to help.
I haven't tried the Zip drive (I forgot it at work today), but my pen drive
doesn't work. The LED comes on for a few seconds after I plug it in, but
nothing shows up on the desktop.
I am wondering if the fact that I installed OS 9.1 from an iMac CD could be
the source of my problems.
Does anybody have any other ideas?
Thanks, adh
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.
The Apple USB driver is always a good thing to try: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=31132
This simple step has resolved USB problems for many Power Computing users.
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.
I've never had troubles using PC-formatted Zip disks in Macs.
In fact, Iomega recommends that you use PC formatted disks in your Mac if
you plan to use them in PCs, too.
