using USB devices with my CC
Hi,
I'm sure this has been discussed before: What's required to use USB devices on a CC?
I'm currently running MacOS 8.1 on a 250MHz MoBo and have a USB card in the PCI slot.
Any useful ressources on the net?
Thanks for your help!
The USB support in 8.1 is pretty sketchy, and was mostly tailored to work with the built-in ports on the original iMac and Blue-and-White G3. Most devices and third-party USB cards require the "USB Adapter Card Support 1.4.1" package which only runs on 8.6 or better.

I haven't heard about it.

Hi folks,
that's exactly the kind of help I expected. I'll check the links out.
The USB card I have from a donor 9600.
Thanks for your help!

Hi folks,
I just want to let you know that I got the USB stuff to work with the download from Apple.
Thanks again!
If you've done a full install of 8.1, it should have the appropriate drivers installed.
Do you know if the card is actually Mac compatible?
I seem to recall a list of compatible cards being posted somewhere, but a quick Google search met with failure. I may be thinking of wireless cards...
