Product Description

This dual-speed 10/100 Mbps USB to Ethernet adapter is designed for home and small office users who want to connect to an existing Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network without having to open the computer to install a traditional network adapter. This converter supports full-duplex operation, auto-negotiation, and advanced power management, and provides the ease of USB to PCs running Windows 98, Me, or 2000.As a USB device, the converter provides network connectivity without having to take up a valuable ISA, PCI, or PC Card slot in a desktop or notebook computer. Because the USB converter gets its power directly from the USB bus, there is no need for an external power adapter.

it works!.......2007-06-10

i bought specifically for a dated computer still running mac os 9, and the supplied drivers allowed it work like a charm. as others noted, it is only usb 1.1 if that matters to you.

Ethernet adapter works with OS9.......2007-03-24

The SMC2208USB/ETH EZ solved a problem that I had been unable to solve for some years simply and cleanly. I have an old Mac Performa 6400 with only two PCI slots. One slot has my graphics card in it and I decided to put a combination USB/Firewire card in the other. I wanted Ethernet access also and have been trying to get it through the USB ports. (Yes, I know about the COMMII slot Ethernet card, but I have a cramped desktop and I use my computer extensively as a phone, so I need the modem.) Information on the web stated that the only OS9 compatible USB/Ethernet adapter was the discontinued Jaton XpressNet USB. I tried unsucessfully month after month to find a used XpressNet on Ebay. Finally a kind retailer responded to a help posting on a bulletin board and pointed the SMC2208USB/ETH EZ out to me. The SMC2208USB/ETH EZ, both software and hardware, installed easily and has worked well with my OS9 Mac for a number of months now with no problems. Kudos to SMC Networks!

I will be retuning these to Amazon.

USB 1.1.......2006-11-10

This device is USB 1.1

The SMC website summary is wrong too. You need the SMC2209 for USB2.0. The initial SMC product listing is correct.
