So I have a PowerMac 8600/300 running OS 9.1. It has a Belkin 2 Port USB PCI card. The system profiler see’s it fine and see’s any USB or CF card as a volume on the USB BUS. It has the OPTI chip. Everything works great as far as mounting and seeing the correct size. If you try to copy to the drive a file of significant size or vice versa, it will end up freezing.. the last freeze it got to 4MB out of 200MB. You have to actually unplug the machine to reboot. Pressing the power button or force quitting ends in a blank white box.
The odd thing is if you use Disk Copy for example and make an image file of that 200MB Folder and save it to the pen or CF drive with disk copy it works fine!!! It saves the image just fine. I cannot figure out why you can’t just drag and drop files to it. I have tried formatting in either “standard” or “extended” and it doesn’t make a difference!
Ive been having this issue with CF cards on my PB G3 Wallstreet as well.
I’ve tried APS power tools for the disk formatting utility.. maybe I should try FWB Toolkit.. With APS I selected HFS+ with 512k setting.
I could swear I used to copy just fine… what am I doing wrong??
Thanks for any help!
