adding USB 2.0 to a BW
Here is an easy pair for you Mac Mavens on the List: My BW (OS 10.4.11, 896 MB RAM, Sonnet Upgrade to 500Mhz G4) has built in USB 1.1 How do I get USB 2.0 working on this machine? Please be specific ...if possible. Another question: I found a PCI card that adds 2 old style round serial ports. When the card is installed, is it the same as the Printer Port/Modem Port on the old Macs? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Any OHCI USB card (which is all of them, iirc, this is a requirement for XP and Vista, too) will work. Just install the card. No drivers are necessary.

A BW doesn't go into sleep mode so you avoid the problem of a USB card not working after sleep. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
