Re: data transfer so sllooowwww on G4 MDD?
I bought a new Real USB 2.0, 3 port (i said 4) card from Computer Renaissance for $19.99. It says it's for Windows 98 threw XP. No Mac listed anywhere. But it was plug-n-play. I just don't use the driver c.d. (it's for windon't) that came with it. Tested it, 7.5gb in 3 mins or so (unlike 8 hours for USB 1.0)... S I don't think it's the card, it's the drivers. I'm using tiger 10.4.11 all updated. In about this Mac, it's seeing as a Hi-Speed USB.
