the 'standard' system USB extensions had no problem recognizing the
older USB 1.1 PCI cards w/o the installation of any hardware 'specific'
drivers. in fact, those older USB 1.1 PCI cards worked just fine under
OS 8.6 with only the system extensions. having to install a 'special'
extension with the new card would seem to me to be a step backward, and
i (perhaps foolishly) didn't think that was likely. also, as steve
mentioned, i thought that was all supposed to be taken care of in OS 9
anyway. and the no-name brand PCI/USB cards i bought didn't have any
CD's, etc, to provide any hardware specific extensions. i still have
the IOGEAR card, which did come with a CD full of mostly junk. i could
double check it to see if they actually included a hardware specific
extension, and if so, try it again.
