usb not working in 7600

[madmann]

help! i have been upgrading the 7600 one upgrade is a usb card . it does not seem to work.

i started with a belkin card that was usb 2 so i removed it and put it in the g4 dual which works perfectly.

i also have a dh-pc4 card.

it does not work either i have tried a mac pro mouse. and nothing happens.

also system profiler dies with error 10 when you quit with the card installed. [] ]'>

Any USB card that is OCHI compliant.

Belkin USB cards have been fingered in various forums as unreliable in Beige (Old World) Macs. You have used OS9Helper to get 9.2.2 on your 7600, which is why the Old World Support 1.0.1 appears in your splash screen at startup. See whether another (any other) brand of card gives you joy, but also make sure that you have the latest software from Apple, either separately installed or as part of OS 9.2.2.

The card may have needed to be already in place for OS 9.2.2 Installer to 'see' it and install the half-dozen extensions (and CP) needed. You can use ASP or Extensions Manager to see what USB software is installed at the moment.

the apple system profile shows the usb card with 4 ports 1.5.5 usb bus 0

yet I have installed a mouse and a modem and they bo not show up is shows nothing connected

i have tried the restart etc. nothing. The optical mouse does not even power the led

does any one have a card recommendation

 

[equill]

Find one that is, as LCGuy recommended, stated as being OHCI-compliant, and also stated as using a NEC chip rather than any of the several alternatives. Look for pictures of the card in the ad. or catalogue. Don't be overwhelmed by the claim of six ports rather than these two essentials. Then, with the appropriate software in place, you should be home and hosed.

OS 9 won't automatically support USB cards. As equill points out, you need to install support software for them.

the card is manufactued by Double H their web site states that the card will work with

win 98se 200 and xp

mac os 8.6.1 greater

after further testing!

with the card installed I installed 9.1 on a second partition.

i switched the devices to the bottom ports and it now shows up in the system profiler. but the devise ie usb modem is listed for all 4 ports. the card must be dead.

could i have a pci bus issue?

I bought a new old stock ASD card off of evilbay and the usb works perfectly mouse , usb sticks everything finally joy.

finally closure to this issue
