Sinclair Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I will do a new installation of Mac OS 9 on a separate partition Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Macdrone Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 The fact it says usb 2.0 may be the issue. You got a 50/50 chance. I have not been able to get any 2.0 cards to work. Almost all 1.1 cards no problem just not any real luck with the 2.0 even tho it says compatible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rsolberg Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Good idea with the extra partition. Fingers crossed that does the trick! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sinclair Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Neither it worked The next thing I'll do is rule out that the card is not defective by connecting it to a PC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rsolberg Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Sinclair, I reviewed the whole thread and I was wondering if you've tried installing the USB card in the other PCI slot. I expect the problem is related to drivers, but it might be worth a try if you haven't already. PCI PowerMacs can be finicky about which card is in what slot sometimes. I also noticed System Profiler is showing three entries for slot B1 in your screenshot. Does anybody recall if that's normal behaviour for USB cards? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Macdrone Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 get another usb card that is 1.1 only, or says mac os supported. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HAL2001 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Never had any luck with USB 2.0 cards either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
meall Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I also have a PCI card that (I think) I removed from a G4 tower. I placed it in my Performa 6360, but I'm not sure how to see if it was detected or not. Is there some kind of System Profiler application in Mac OS 9.1? Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haemogoblin Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Well isn't this something. I logged on this morning to post about my working, but not working USB 1.1 card and lone behold there's already someone having the same problem as me! I have pretty much the same problem, the card is detected in system profiler (x4 ports), but does bog all when I insert a USB mouse or USB pen drive. As far as I know I have the latest USB extensions installed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haemogoblin Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 This is the card I'm trying to use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Macdrone Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 2 port , 1.1 cards seem to be best. All 4 port cards seem to have a controller that the apple usb sprockets would not jive with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haemogoblin Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Finding 1.1 cards is the problem now. Can anyone tell me where I can find the latest USB drivers for 9.1 Edited June 23, 2016 by haemogoblin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
