Jack Yes it will work. BUT? Will it work at USB2 speed? That was the original question. From a brief scan of Adaptec's site, it would appear that they don't have their own driver for OS9? (and yet you say it is on the CD?) They indicate that one has to download the driver from the Apple web site (USB Adaptor Card Support) This is currently version 1.4.1 and will make the card work, but at USB1 speeds. Did you receive a different Driver/Extension set? If so which? Is yours running at USB2 speed? Be great if it does.
