How to install a usb card in my Performa 6360 ?
- Thread starter macguy
- Start date
The logic board pulls out like a drawer. You will need the 2xPCI riser card that was stock with these machines, but apart from that, the required extensions should be in the stock 9.1 installation. Make sure anything usb related is activated in your Extensions Manager.
6360 is a one slot riser limited rev of the Quadra 630 line. Other than that single caveat, that was a very helpful post, bc. [

Thank you all for the friendly and helpful information/advice.
i use my p6360 to run some "old" midi audio sequencer programmes that when they were ported to OS X some of them died on the side of the road and others lost some of their features.
There is one particular midi/audio sequencer that Emagic and Roland developed to edit the Roland VS series of hard disk recorder. It was a step beyond the normal midi syncing. The Emagic programme Logic could be used to control the VS hard disk recorders especially used to edit the finished recordings on the VS rather then squinting at the LCD screen of the recorder ( albeit the LCD screen is fairly large on the VS ) it's the "paging" back and forth to make adjustments to volume, panning and twirlying a knob or punching the entry button. When Yamaha bought out Emagic and Apple joined forces with Yamaha to develop the Apple flagship midi/audio sequencer they gave up on Roland since Roland is a competitor of Yamaha. That's as best as i understand what happened between the three corporations.
Therefore I can't give up my P6360. The USB ports will help to make use of DVD burners and so on.
Please excuse my long winded story but i'm an old guy and that's what old guys do.

Just be aware that even if you install a USB 2.0 card, under Mac OS 9 it will still only perform at USB 1.1 speed (12 Mbps), since OS 9 does not support USB 2.0, and unfortunately, USB 1.1 is nowhere near fast enough to run a DVD burner. If you want to be able to run DVD burners and the like, look into getting a USB/FireWire card, since Mac OS 9 happily supports FireWire, which is more than fast enough (400 Mbps) to run DVD burners.
Freudian slip; I was thinking of my 6500.6360 is a one slot riser limited rev of the Quadra 630 line. Other than that single caveat, that was a very helpful post, bc. [

Logic has a long history going back to the mid 80s Atari 520 and 1040 home computers, when the program was called Notator. It has (with the appropriate add-ons) the ability to control a range of external devices, including hard disk recorders, like eg Yamaha's CBX series. It's not something exclusive to Roland and the VS AFAIK. And it was Apple who bought up Emagic, much to the dismay of PC Logic users.
The card http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html'>http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html arrived.
i installed the card, re-installed OS 9 and ran the USB support drivers from the apple downloads ( http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html )
stuck a usb 128 MB flash drive and then tried a 4 GB flash drive and then a usb mouse but nothing on the desk top and the flash drives and mouse did not lite up.
Everything usb related is activated in Conflict Catcher.
I did several restarts, ran Norton'sSystemWorks for OS 9 and DiskWarrior for OS 9.
Is there a software utility to check or setup drives for USB devices in OS 9? For example, i use DiskManager ( an old piece of software ) to scan, install drives and laucnh the scisi connected devices.
Suggestions ?

, I will check into that ( ah, next yeear 2010 ).
Very much frustrated here because Apple Profiler and Norton System Works for OS 9 can not see the card.
I have installed OS 9 ( using original apple installer for OS 9 ) and updated to 9.1.
Unable to update to OS 9.2 because installer says that my performa 6360 does not qualify.
I can't find any Belkin F5u005 drivers on the internet.
Any ideas how i can get this going?

The following exerpt is from off of the PDF file containing original install instructions, courtesy of Belkin.com:
When installing the F5U005-MAC in a PowerPC-based Macintosh® computer with PCI slots and without built-in USB ports, you must also install the Apple® USB Adapter Card Support extensions. These extensions may be downloaded from Apple®’s support web site at http://asu.info.apple.com.
• Users of Mac® OS version 8.5.1 should download USB Adapter Card Support version 1.2.
• Users of Mac® OS 8.6 and above should download USB Adapter Card Support version 1.3.5, or the most recent version provided on the Apple® support web site.
But since trying to find the official driver on the Net is like pulling teeth, my suggestion to you would be to forget the Belkin driver and just use Apple's USB Adaptor Card Support extensions, along with several of the other USB Support extensions that OS 9.1 provides. If you can't get the extensions installed, let me know and I'll copy them for you and send them to you via email. I've had no problems getting my USB card to work on my Power Mac 7500 and I think mine too is a Belkin; it looks awfully identical to your card, though.
Btw, do you have another computer, PC or Mac, that is on the Net and has a floppy drive? If so, use that when I go to send you any Mac resources.

I tried installing Apple's USB Adapter card support 1.3.5 but it would not go because, i think, my OS is 9.1.
Then I installed Apple's USB Adapter card support 1.4.1 . However , nothing. I tried a 128 MB, and two different 4 G flash drives, a USB mouse and nothing. I then plugged in a powered USB nothing.
I tried removing and re-inserting the Belkin card: still no luck.
I made sure that Conflict Catcher version 9 had all the USB extensions on at start up.
If you could email the extension you have to wsheluk at shaw dot ca that would be just great.
My 8500 is web savy and it does have a floppy drive. More then often i burn to CD the stuff i want to install in my Performa6360. The Performa also has a burner via scsi.
I have a few applications that I use to determine or test if scsi devices are working. In fact one application can install a scsi drive for CD or hard drives connected via scsi. I was wondering if there is a similar software that can read the activity of a USB device or show that it is firing.
Thanks again for your offer to help me.
