anybody aware of Apple releasing USB 2 drivers particularly given
that the G5 and the new PowerBooks support it?
Do USB 2 devices work at full speed in regard to classic
applications? (actually is this even a relevant question?)
Over the last few months I've had Mac users with come to me with
PCMCIA USB cards (I also own such a card) that supports USB 2 (and
do so on windows XP machines) but the manufactures downloads (orange
USB 2 drivers) for OS X USB 2 support do not work.
With the PCMCIA card I'm inclined to think that it's a weird system
problem that won't be fixed until Panther (hopefully)-
OS 9 reports the PCMCIA card as USB bus hub 3 But OS X reports it as
being part of USB bus hub 0 which is the same as the left most
internal USB port which is, of course, USB 1 so the PCMCIA ports drop
back to USB 1 to maintain compatibility.
Of course if any one would like to loan me a new USB 2 Powerbook That
I can test it on.... (well its always worth a try :) )
