have you looked on ebay? or thrift stores in your area, usually a good place to find these things

I'd rather not deal with ebay(dont ask me why

) and I live in spain so there aren't any thrift stores(i've only really seen thrift stores in the US) so macrumors is all I got.

I just need the mouse but are you sure it will work with a powermac 7500(adb port)
How much for it?

wnameth · Feb 24, 2005, 05:21 PM

It is the one with the weird port, It works with the 5200 series of powermac. I am to understand that apple went from that to USB, so if yours isn't USB it must be that one. Since you live in Madrid, i would say between 10-15 shipped

I have multiple ADB mice and keyboards. I'd be willing to ship the mouse to Spain for $19 shipped. I have paypal, and I also have 100% ebay feedback you can see. Tambien podemos comunicar en espanol :~)

Patmian212 · Feb 25, 2005, 05:00 PM

I agreed on a deal with wnameth... Now does anyone have a usb 1 or 2 pci card that will work with my poewermac 7500?

If anyone's interested, you can still buy ADB bits from www.macally.com.

Patmian, I'm right in thinking that the 7500 is PCI rather than Nubus, yes? In that case your choice of USB card is dependent upon OS rather than Mac model, but I think you're stuck with USB 1.1 speeds.

You can but Macally stuff in Spain: http://www.macally-europe.com/fwhere...php?country=20

The ADB mouse has a RRP of €20, and the cheapest PCI USB card is €21.

I believe you need OS 8.6 and above to use *any* PCI USB card. See: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=31132

Patmian212 · Feb 26, 2005, 05:28 PM
