Works on a G4 Mac.......2007-03-21

I purchased this for use on my G4 Mac (Digital Audio) so I could plug my 2G iPod nano into it. The card fit well into the computer, no fuss no muss. Didn't even need to put the CD into the disc drive, just plug and play. So far so good. When I tried to plug the iPod cable into it the computer wouldn't mount the iPod in iTunes, or on the desktop. Only place I can find it is in the System Profiler. Very wierd.

Other than that the card works great, I have my printer plugged into it and it works very well.

Perhaps I have not found a way to have the iPod work with it. Hopefully a way is out there.

The 2 Port Ultra fast USB 2.0 PCI was so easy to install my cat, Princess could have done it. It performs seamlessly as advertised. I will gladly recommend it to anyone considering the cost and the easy installation. My Multi-function printer is very happy.

Value for price.......2006-02-12

I ordered two of these, one for my XP computer at work, and one for my ME computer at home. They're both working perfectly now, but the installation didn't go anything like the User's Manual suggested it would.

The physical installation is no problem at all for anyone who can take the cover off the computer and recognizes a PCI slot. Software's a different story. If you don't panic easily and are fairly familiar with installing new hardware, this should go pretty well, but if you're a total computer novice, be prepared for some scary moments.

Before I could use the new ports, my ME machine demanded three files it couldn't find (usbntmap.sys, usbstor.sys, and usbmphlp.pdr). I'm not sure if they should have been provided on the software disc for the USB ports, or whether this was a problem of the DVD writer I was plugging into the port, but my Googling for an answer (and successfully finding and downloading copies of those missing files) suggested that they should have been provided by the USB port maker. They're readily available on the internet, so it wasn't a real problem, but the installation took about two hours and was much more nervous than I'd like.

Still, the price is very right, and I now have working USB-2 ports on both home and office systems. If you're comfortable with your computer, I would't hesitate to recommend this product.

This 2-port USB 2.0 card was a great price--I thought about getting a D-Link instead, but even after rebates on the D-Links, the Startech was less expensive. The card installed very easily and works perfectly well. My only complaint was that the manual could have had a line or two more of detail in the driver installation section. Even with Win XP, you must install a driver from CD, which I thought was a little odd. Regardless, it took under 30 minutes to install and forget about it.
