Brainlessly simple install.......2007-05-12

Bought two of them - one for a pc, one for a Mac. Both installed very easily and are working great. Definitely recommended.

Works - But.......2007-01-21

Easy to install in a dual G5 Power Mac, no drivers required. The card works fine with OS 10.4.8, but the computer will not go into Sleep Mode if a disk drive is connected to this card (including iPods). The drives will sleep, but not the Mac. The computer will sleep fine if my scanner, card reader (without card) and IR remote are plugged into this card. Also, if you plug your keyboard into the card, you can't wake the computer because the card is "sleeping". I checked the ADS website and there are no fixes for the sleep issues. If you can work around the quirks, the card does work.

For Mac Users, It Really Is Plug & Go!.......2006-07-25

As a long time Mac user in a PC-product dominated world, I always twitch slightly when installing generic "dual platform" products. No need in this case -- I slapped one into an older G4 (Gigabit Ethernet model with an Powerlogix processor upgrade) running MacOS 10.4.7, fired up the machine, and boom 4 additional ports (5 if you count the internal one, which I'm gonna figure out something to do with), no fuss, no muss, no drivers or tweaking needed. Although I haven't tried any formal timing runs, reading files either directly from a digital camera or via a generic flashcard reader is very notably faster (why I installed the card in the first place) making this product a very good investment of $20.

The Jury is still out........2004-11-17

I bought this card for my Micron 1.2 GH Athlon based system running WinME. The on-board USB power supply craped-out on my motherboard and adding a card seemed a much simpler solution than replacing the motherboard. Based upon the other two reviews, I figured it was worth a try, especially considering the low price.

After installing the card yesterday and attempting to install the software I am still not running after several hours of troubleshooting. The documentation and software that comes with this card is minimal at best. There is also very little information on their website. I emailed tech-support with a detailed description of my problem tonight we will see if they are any help.

When I reboot the computer after installing the card, the system finds the new hardware, but after installing the software (drivers) and then rebooting, the system asks for a windows file "openhci.sys." Presumably this is a winME file but sofar I haven't been able to download an up-to-date file from Microsoft?

More Later.

Couldn't be easier.......2004-09-21

I bought this because my Dell Dimension 8100 did not have any USB 2.0 ports, and my new iPod required it. It took me longer to get the top off the computer then it did to install the card.Ten minutes later, I had my iPod plugged in and was downloading to it WAY quicker than before with the USB 1.0. Great product.
