Mac Forum / Country Specific / Australian Mac Group / December 2007WTB: USB2 PCI card
Hi I'm looking for this PCI card to go in my MDD G4 and increase my USB capability from 1.1 to 2. Does anyone have one they'd sell? Thanks, and have a great Chrissy/Hanukkah/whatever anyways. Pedro G'day Pedro, > Hi > > I'm looking for this PCI card to go in my MDD G4 and increase my USB > capability from 1.1 to 2. Does anyone have one they'd sell? I've picked on up from my local PC retailer for $AU20 (!) This is what you're looking for: a) Must be USB 2.0 - can be generic (i.e.: doesn't have to be a 'name' brand), & 2) Must be OHCI (not UHCI) compliant ... FYI: it's "Open" Host Controller Interface *only* that works with Macs, not "Universal" (which only works with Intel processors (don't know about the new breed of Macintel machines) ... acronym from memory - but you're looking for "O", not "U" ... > Thanks, and have a great Chrissy/Hanukkah/whatever anyways. Merry Christmas to you and all you love too! MikeyMike > G'day Pedro, > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > MikeyMike This sounds like good news - many thanks for the advice. Incidentally, is 'local' anywhere in Sydney? If it is I'll go to the same shop! Trust the Mac marketplace to make it seem you have to spend $90 on a Sonnet Card. And the Sonnet's are only twenty-something in the States, but they won't sell overseas. Mongrels. Thanks Mike Pedro > This sounds like good news - many thanks for the advice.

Nup - regional area - we're talking a real generic card - same experience with a generic ethernet NIC with a certain Realtek chip ... > > This sounds like good news - many thanks for the advice.

No worries, I'm encouraged by the research I've done today: recognising a number of cards on offer as meeting the requirements you've described. Thanks for your help. > No worries, I'm encouraged by the research I've done today: > recognising a number of cards on offer as meeting the requirements > you've described. Thanks for your help. I've purchased a couple of these from "Sydney Computer Fairs", usually range between 10 - 15 dollars, clearly marked on packaging if supports Mac OS's  Signaturedee > > No worries, I'm encouraged by the research I've done today: > > recognising a number of cards on offer as meeting the requirements [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > range between 10 - 15 dollars, clearly marked on packaging if supports > Mac OS's That's reassuring. I'm sick of the looks one gets for saying "I'm a Mac user". I'll look out for those Fairs. Thanks Mike |
