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!

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...
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.
An abbreviation:
MoBo = MotherBoard.
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!
