As mentioned in a previous post, my ADS Dual Link FW/USB2 card works fine with both OS9 and OSX in my S900 (albeit only at USB1.1 speed in OS9). There are 3 USB2 ports and 2 FW ports on the card. If you need more, USB hubs are pretty inexpensive. IIRC, you have to install a specific USB extension set to have your system recognize the PCI card, as opposed to just the standard USB drivers which only recognize the built-in USB ports on "real" Macs. Did you do this before you tested the other cards you mention? -- Gregg -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
