I bought a card from *cough* eBay *cough*. It was labeled compatible with OS X. I installed it into my 1.25 DP PowerMac. The USB ports worked, not sure if it runs at USB 2.0 speeds though. However, whenever I started up my computer or restarted my system, a dialogue box would pop up saying something about there's not enough power and it's going to disable the USB hub (I assumed it was the card). It still works, I'm just wondering if it'll be a potential future problem. Also, the firewire ports on the card don't work. I'm sure this card would work fine and dandy on a PC, so I was wondering if anyone can recommend a PCI firewire/USB 2.0 card that works for the MDD DP 1.25 PowerMacs.
It's been a while since I've asked a question here. The last time I asked something here was a year ago when I was making my switch to Macs for school. The people here were helpful and since then, I never looked back. =)
So summary of questions:
-"Insufficient power, disabling USB hub" message from USB/firewire card a problem later?
-Which specific PCI cards with firewire/USB would work for sure with MDD DP PowerMacs? "Any" isn't an answer with this question. ^_^;
