USB 2.0 on a Powermac G4

[drbrog]

Has anyone successfully added USB 2.0 to a G4 Powermac? I added an Adaptec USB2.0/Firewire card but it caused problems when the computer went to sleep. Is there another brand of USB card that has worked? Any suggestions?
Thanks for you help. 😕

Sleep problems with 3rd-party cards have been supposedly repaired with Tiger... there's been a couple of people reporting this.

Try doing a forum search for 'sleep'.

I have a Belkin 3-port Firewire PCI Card in my G4 Tower.

It caused the computer to be unable to sleep when I installed it.

After installing Tiger, it sleeps.

I was going to buy an Adaptec card at Best buy the other day (USB 2.0), but after my experiences, I will get a Belkin from the Apple Store.

I'd suggest you do the same, or go visit www.xlr8yourmac.com to see if there are any new compatability reports.

Cheers. 🙂
