6PT USB 2.0 ADPT CARD-PCI [Posted on 2007-06-08] Works exactly as advertised...didn't want to buy a new system until Windows Vista gets sorted out, so this minor upgrade to usb 2.0 can buy me another year or so...
Faulty and Unacceptable [Posted on 2007-06-14] The card appears to work upon initial installation.
However, after hot restart, any device attached via the usb port(s) is dropped and usb port is disabled. A cold restart (without any device attached) is required to restore normal operation. Devices can be addad back (to usb ports) after a cold restart.
Also, large file transfers (over 600K) to/from a usb attached drive appears to "hang" without possibility of clean recovery. A hard power down shutdown is only way out, but that leaves both drives in problem state (clusters involved in interrupted file transfer are left in limbo). Disk recovery utility (e.g.,Norton) is required to restore each drive back to normal.
Excellent!!! [Posted on 2007-11-23] Works perfectly on my Mac quicksilver 933. I had a problem though when I installed it on my computer while OS 10.4.10 was still on this computer. OS 10.4 didn't see it as a USB 2.0 device until I installed OS 10.5. Now, it works as designed, and either way I was happy, because it did work, as a 1.1 device.
So if you using a Mac with 10.5 this will serve you well. Not sure about windows. But then again, who is?
Great Price [Posted on 2008-02-15] The product worked as expected. Upgraded an old MAC G4 system to now have USB 2.0 Best price I could find.
USB card works fine [Posted on 2008-06-02] This usb/pci card was easy to istall and does just what it is supposed to do..
