Uhm..
Isn't this true about any PCI based Mac running any OS since 8.6? Using the USB Adapter Card Support in 8.6 or the regular USB drivers in 9.x will let you use any standard compliant USB card. I don't see why this would go away in OS 10. My 4 port USB card has been working since the day I upgraded and I never expected anything different.
Not sure...
I bought and returned a USB card for my machine back when it was running OS 9. It was a generic card from Fry's, and it simply did not work. Anyone know the official answer?
Uhm..
OS X will support a card or IO chip as long as that chip set is already supported by a driver. For example, if you plug in a SCSI card with the Symbios 53c875, the OS X driver will find it. Plug in another of the same card, and another instance of the driver will be launched (instantiated) at startup.
Uhm..
So how does one determine the chipset of a USB card before buying it?
PCI USB card won't wake from sleep
I installed a generic PCI 5 port USB card to add ports to my G4 running X. It works fine until the machine goes to sleep. After wake, the devices plugged into the card won't work. The "brand" is as best I can tell, called "For Best Ports Connection". |
