Apple's not to blame this time (at least not quite)
Authored by: sebastienb on Apr 25, '03 01:43:47PM
The fact is that the real problem is in the way the device(s) don't follow the USB specs, and that causes the problem. Granted, the computer shouldn't actually crash because of it (maybe just refuse to see the device, or something), but at least the OS is doing its job properly (well, kinda I guess :).

Why is it so difficult to admit that Apple screwed up? The same
devices WORKED before updating 10.2.5.

No, the USB vendor isn't up to snuff and Apple may have stuck to the core
code. Many USB vendors are just slapping an extra product logo on a PC
product to get more market. So this break mean some of you were lucky and
the rest have been "getting what they paid for".

If you look at Keyspan products, their USB hubs and PCI card have been rock
solid. And keyspan works very close with Apple to make it so.

Ok, so I can agree Apple does do some assbackward things (10.2.4 breaking
internal 3rd party DVD-R) but the clue there is "3rd party". But they fixed it
on the 10.2.5.

We can also look at the tension between Adaptec SCSI cards, Apple and
ATTO. I've wasted much money on Adaptec 2940 series, only to have to get
a 29160 card that was still a disappointment. yet a ATTO UL4S has been
flawless from the get go. Why? Because ATTO works in interest with Apple.
