I did this years ago when I had a PM6500 running 8.6 & added a USB PCI card, but know I didn't have the problem you are having.
When I downloaded from the link you provided, I got this file USBCard_Support1.4.1.smi.bin. After using Stuffit Expander, I got this file +USB Card Support 1.4.1.smi+, which is the installer. I don't have a Mac running 8.6, so I can't try the install.
Suggest you do this. Put the smi.bin file in a folder on your desktop & then uncompress using Stuffit. This will yeild the .sim file. Then double click the .sim file. Did you get the message "+Please insert the disc: USB Adapter Card Support+" when you double clicked the .sim file? Or some other file?
When you downloaded the smi.bin file did you use a Mac or a PC & then put on a Zip disc? What computer did you use to uncompress to get the .sim file?

USB adapter for PB3400/OS8.1

I have a PB3400 running OS8.1. I'd like to be able to connect a (PC compatible) USB memory stick to it, so I'm looking a for a USB adapter. The PB3400 has a slot for PCMCIA card. I've found a plenty of PCMCIA USB adapter cards but none will work with OS8.1. Are there any drivers available? Do I have any other options?
Many thanks.

Alan,
Even though the PB3400 does not officially support USB (32-bit), it does have the Texas Instruments 32-bit chip on the logic board. You do, however, require a minimum of OS 8.6 so you can install the USB Adapter Card Support.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=31132
Here also is a website discussing using a USB PC card on the 3400:
http://www.wwc.edu/~frohro/Cardbus/Cardbus.html
Please be aware that even a USB 2.0 PC card will still only run at the slower 1.1-speeds under 8.6 > 9.2.2. Also, the USB and FireWire PC cards do not supply the bus power required to run peripherals like a USB 2.5" HD, so I don't know how much voltage is required for the USB memory stick.
You may be better served with this configuration:
- Buy the SanDisk 6-in-1 PC Card Adapter (16-bit) for the PCMCIA card slot of the 3400; no drivers are required.
- Buy the SanDisk MS/MS Pro I/ II Reader (USB) for any computer that has a USB port.
- Buy a SanDisk xxxMB Memory Stick PRO.
All of the above can be seen at this link; just at the Products list on the left side. I imagine similar hardware is available from other vendors also.

Powerbook 2400 and USB Card Support

I have a Powerbook 2400 with a PCMCIA slot. I also have a Belkin USB Adapter for the slot that works fine with a Powerbook G3. I also must run Mac OS 8.6 because of an old program I use everyday. The 2400 slot works with a modem card so I know it is not defective.
I downloaded Apple's USB Card Support 1.4.1, which allows the USB card support in pre 9.0 Macs. The notes say it will work with any PowerPC Mac. When I try to install it on the 2400, the window comes up saying this card suppot software is not supported on this machine. It works fine on the G3 running 8.6.
Is there any work around so that I can use this card in the 2400?
Thanks,

Powerbook 2400 Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier

The dialogue box "...USB DDK..." went away with your instructions for including "usbx", BUT the 2400 froze on restart.
I removed the "usbx" version of the USB Support Extension and went back to the USB Support Extension without "usbx". I restarted and it came up without the dialogue box. (?????). No freezing. So the dialogue box problem was solved.
With the old (non "usbx" support extension) installed, I inserted my Belkin USB card. I then inserted the little Memorex USB in the left slot of the two slot card spaces and it didn't work. I inserted it into the right slot and the little light on the Memorex flashed and the icon came upon the desktop. Hurray!!!
Success!
I am a bit confused by all of this.
1. With Plan B, it took code inserted into the resource window, "usbx" (pardon me if I use the wrong terms here) to get rid of the dialogue box (DDK) which came up on all restarts.
2. That froze the 2400.
3. Replacing it with the original USB Support Extension (without "usbx") allowed the 2400 to restart without freezing or the dialogue box.
4. BUT my hardware Belkin card seems to mount USB drives on the right USB slot only.
Anyway it seems to be working, and you guys are phenomenal. My PC using husband is totally impressed by what you have been able to help me do. And I am reminded of how much fun it used to be to do this kind of stuff on my old Macs when we could still work with the extension folder.
Do you have any further analysis on this, otherwise I'll close it out as question answered? Bless you!

USB Universal card reader intermittent eject

Hi all,
Brand spanking new MBP 17" core i7. I use a Technika brand usb card reader for my CF cards. This works fine on my old 15" MBP 2.4ghz. Also works fine on my MacPro 8core. However, When I connect a card to the new machine it ejects randomly after a couple of minutes with the Eject warning dialog. It's intermittent as I did manage to copy over 200+ Camera Raw images after several attempts.
Any ideas?
External USB HD seems OK as does my Wacom tablet.

Hi, Dave. Since your iMac has built-in USB ports rather than an add-in USB adapter card, the software Tom mentioned is, in fact, unnecessary on your machine. The Mass Storage Support software you downloaded and installed should have done the trick for you.
Have you restarted the iMac since installing the Mass Storage Support extensions? If not, do. Does Apple System Profiler recognize that either the memory card or the reader is connected to your Mac? Have you tried connecting the reader to each of the two USB ports on the computer, to see whether the problem might be a bad port? (Connecting it to a keyboard's USB port may not work, because that port may not supply enough power to the device if it doesn't have its own AC adapter.)

USB adapter for OS8.1 laptop

I have a PB3400 running OS8.1. I'd like to be able to connect a (PC compatible) USB memory stick to it, so I'm looking a for a USB adapter. The PB3400 has a slot for PCMCIA card. I've found a plenty of PCMCIA USB adapter cards but none will work with OS8.1. Are there any drivers available? Do I have any other options?
Many thanks.

Hi, Alan. Support for the then brand-new USB protocol in OS 8.1 was really rudimentary — no modern USB device is likely to be compatible with it. USB support wasn't even halfway mature until OS 8.6. Are you reluctant to upgrade to 8.6 or even 9.1?
There is another possible problem: I don't remember whether the 3400's PCMCIA slot is 32-bit CardBus-compliant, and I don't know whether a USB 1.1 adapter card would require that compliance. (I suspect that any USB 2.0 card would require it, and you'll never get USB 2.0 speed on a 3400 anyway: OS X 10.2.3 or 10.3.4 or later is required for USB 2.0 support. So don't buy a USB 2.0 card.) But you should be able to get reliable info about these specifications and requirements from an exceptionally knowledgeable poster over here who goes by the name of jpl. Good luck.

Creative WebCam Vista Plus on USB PCI Card (VIA VT 6212) on Windows ME - doesnt work !!

PC turns off when the Vista Plus WebCam is connected to the USB port on my USB PCI Card
I use a primitive Intel Celeron 300Mhz processor with 64MB RAM on an Intel 440BX-AT Chipset running on Window ME. I recently installed a USB PCI Card (based on the VIA VT 622 chipset) which is a 394/USB 2.0 Combo. The problem is my 'Creative WebCam Vista Plus' doesnt work with it.
After I had installed the drivers on the 'Creative WebCam Vista Plus' CD - that is - without connecting the webcam to my USB PCI card the installation asks me to connect the webcam to the USB port and When I do that the PC just GOES OFF !
It starts up only in SAFE MODE and each time I've got to restore my PC.
How do I get the WebCam connected to my PC ?
Thanks in advance

9hours later and Ive given up. I cant get the Vista 64 Ultimate to work with the Audigy 2Nx usb sound card. Im very angry and very frustrated (not to mention very tired from the 2 late nights Ive spent trying to work it out). Im not a PC-noob, but am only 4days into my Vista ownership................... Im guessing now, after much research, that there will never be a driver that gets these units to work with Vista 64bit. thats pretty weak Creative. However, I dont want to use crappy onboard sound for my gaming.What is the suggestion?Should I be looking at returning this unit, and buying either the X-Fi Xtremegamer?Fatality Pro as?a highend device, or the X-Fi Xtremegamer for $00 less? Or should I be looking at another manufacturer. Would either of these x-fi gamers work with Vista 64bit Ultimate?suggestions please?

USB adapter for old imac

I know this should be in the crt imac forum, but i need a response soon.
I'm looking for a wireless usb adapter for a crt imac. This mac has the capability to use an airport card, but none is installed.
Are there any usb adapters that are mac compatible? If not, is there anywhere i can find an old airport card (not airport extreme).

Hi John,
You want one of these:

It connects to the ethernet port. I have the 'B' version on an old 450DV+, and it works well.

Suggest USB PCI card for PM 7200/120

Hi
I want to instal a USB PCI card in a 7200/120. It's running OS 8.6 with Apple USB Support 1.4.1 software. Also have Toast Titanium 5.2 with its Toast USB support extensions loaded. Also tried running OS 9.1 on alternative startup drive with same Apple USB Support 1.4.1 etc.
I've installed a 5 port USB v2 (32-bit host interface compliant to PCI spec release 2.2 and backward compatible with USB 1.1) card from Laser (www.laserco.net). The packaging says it's compatible with Win 98/98SE/ME/2000/XP but no mention of Mac. The 7200 doesn't see the card installed in PCI slot (checking Apple System Profiler). Double-checked to make sure the PCI was securely seated in the slot, tried different slot etc.
I also tried re-installing Apple USB Support v.1.2 on the OS 8.6 volume but still no good.
I'm in Australia and wondered if anyone can recommend a USB card that actually works in the 7200?

Claudio,
Two years ago, this question was very common. Warnings were given about certain Belkin cards not working well. With the passage of time and the drop in price of newer used systems, few people spend money on upgrading older equipment. It can be done but the beige G3 is the minimum platform that most will work on. Here is a guide to Mac resources in Australia.
http://www.tandb.com.au/buying/
This site sells a wide array of older Mac products. They offer an interesting list of prior models that they still buy, including 7300 models and IIci models. The 7200 is not on their list of models that are in demand.
http://resale.headgap.com/
"TRADE-INS OR SELL YOUR OLD MAC
Remember we pay wholesale prices. Many times when you are ready to upgrade your old system may not be worth much, especially to a dealer who is used to buying in quantity at wholesale prices and has the units shipped in bulk truck freight. Boxing and shipping your old system costs a few dollars. Here lately we have been having more trouble locating older systems people are still buying. We will begin offering trade-ins or to buy outright certain older systems. The following are on the list: PowerMac G4, iMac G4, QuickSilver G4, Blue & White (REV 2 Only), G3 Desktops, PowerMac 7300, Quadra or Centris 650, and Mac IICI's and SI's. The units need to be cosmetically in good condition and working (at least chiming). Trade in value will vary from the top wholesale price for extra clean, that exceed stock configurations and down for less that prime units. We are also purchasing good used Apple Desktop Bus Mouse II ADB Mice, working StyleWriters, and SCSI Zip Drives."
Hope this helps. My experience with buying USB cards for Macs convinced me to only buy cards that are already installed in a working used Mac. The Mac costs $15 US and the card is free. I realize that your market is somewhat different. However, if it is hard to find a working card here, it will be even harder there.
Take note, even Headgap does not want Rev. 1 Blue and White Macs. Avoid them if you have a choice.
This company has iMacs for under $200 in Australia. That may be high and it may not be a current price.
http://www.newwavesystems.com.au/pre-owned_imac.html
They also show a PowerMac G4/400MHz for $150 Australian here:
http://www.newwavesystems.com.au/pre-owned_powermac.html
That would be money well spent compared to any upgrades to a 7200. Otherwise, find a recycler who knows a thing or two about Macs and wait for them to come across the right card for you.

Recommend a WLAN USB adapter

Hi, can someone recommend a wlan USB adapter which supports 802.11n and has at least 2 antennas for 2x2:2 MIMO? It should also have open source / free software drivers (no ndiswrapper stuff). I already have an integrated wlan card, but it only has 1 antenna, so the speed is only 40-50 Mbps which is too slow. For reference, here's (a Finnish) website listing some suitable wlan adapters, but I don't know whether or not they work well and quickly on Linux. It's difficult to find information whether or not those cards support fast speeds and multiple antennas online. I don't want to buy an wlan adapter and find out it's just as fast as my integrated one.

I bought TP-Link 821N, and the network connection hangs/stops working after 1-2 minutes of torrent download. I can fix the connection only by rebooting. By "connection hangs" I mean that connection completely stops working.
The speed tests showed 60 Mbps though, which is pretty good. I'm using linux 3.2.13-1. The wlan adapter uses ath9k_htc, not ath5k as suggested earlier. Should I try ath5k? ath9k_htc is for 802.11n according to the wiki.

I have an Imac G4 and would like to install USB adapter for wireless internet connectivty. Is this possible with my system ?

Problem Printing to HP laserjet 4 plus via a parallel-usb adapter

This generic parallel-usb adapter cable worked fine on a Sony laptop printing to HP laserjet 4 plus, but when I tried to do the same with the Mac book pro (2.4 ghz mac 10.4.10), the printer is recognized and it prints but only in a faded fashion (as if it is draft printing). I looked in the control panel on the printer and tried to make a couple adjustments, but that didn't help. The cable's page said it had mac 8.2 or whatever support. It did come with some drivers disc but it is too small to work in the mac (not a standard size cd).
I would apreciate some help in this matter.

Hi Moorty
Hi wm300
I have connected a HP LaserJet 4L to Mac OS X 10.3.9 using a Keyspan parallel to USB adaptor cable. You will require the same hardware setup. It is more than a connector, the cable it has a small converter card in it.

You already have such a similar cable.
Your problem seems to be the right driver.
remove the printer then Add it again and decide which driver you want to use.
Your model HP will work with the drivers available in OS X, HP LaserJet 4MP, or the old driver downloaded from the HP website for the LJ4/4M will also work.
A new driver for it will also work available here

So once connected to a USB port, your Mac will see it, load the right driver, and the printer should work.

Installing a USB 2.0 PCI card

I'm looking to install a USB 2.0 PCI card in my Power Mac G4 867 mhz.
I've heard of problems doing this, and was looking for advice or suggestions for specific cards.
Thank you.

Hi-
To get optimal results from a USB 2.0 PCI card, get a card that has the NEC chipset. Via and Ali chipsets are problematic, and should be avoided.
Some USB 2.0 cards that have the NEC chipset are:
Adaptec 3100LP
BAFO BF-460
Belkin F5U220
GWC UC-160
IOGear GIC250U
Keyspan U2PCI-5
O'toLink U2-C2B
O'toLink U2-C2A
O'toLink U2-P20N
O'toLink U2-P50
Ratoc PCIU5
USBWholesale UII-PCIP
Even if the card isn't stated to be Mac compatible, OS X has NEC chipset support, and can use the card. I have two different cards bought from PC stores, that work great. And, they're alot cheaper than mac specific cards.
One of the biggest problem areas of USB 2.0 in a G4 is connection of an external harddrive, or other mass storage device. These devices invariably (with few, erratic exceptions) cause sleep freeze, even with a NEC chipset card.
For external harddrives, on a G4, USB 2.0 is not a convenient option.

Problem w/ WG111v3 usb adapter

Hi, i have an iMac running 10.3.4, and have the Netgear wg311v3 usb adapter. I download the appropriate driver for Mac from Netgear's site, install and try to run. The icon appears in the dock momentarily and disappears. Needless to say it does not work or appear in the Network setup either. I have spent 8hours or so googleing and trying various poss. fixes all to no avail.
Any thoughts ?
Ps. i have four of these iMacs to get up and running, so really need to figure this one out. Thanks in advance

Could it be, the OS X Panther may need to be updated to the last
version step for the USB drivers to be functional with the device?
The 10.3.9 Combo update, and any last security update, Java update,
last supported QuickTime, & any players (flash/shockwave) may also
be outdated, to the degree of any latent support for obsolete Panther.
The recently acquired USB driver may have a minimum requirement
in the system it could be used in; so those specs would be important
to know, and then see if your computers need to be updated first.
Also, outside of routine and periodic maintenance, which may help in
most anything to do with the OS X system in general, there may be
some conflict or issues in the status of the Panther installations.
What version and specifications of iMac (G4?) are you running?
Some third party adapters and accessories are fairly concise to
what they can be used with, and the specs should be available.
The older 800MHz iMac G4 has USB 1.1 ports, and also has
the slower built-in support for 802.11/b wireless via AirPort
when the card is available and installed.
This (Netgear) USB adapter, what is it going to be used to connect to?
Some back-checking, shows it is a wireless adapter; so it probably
has minimum OS X version support necessary to function; and
also the power to the USB port, and speed rating of the ports, is an
important consideration when using a USB peripheral.

You may have to look into the Console and other System Log files
and see if there is any evidence there as to what is happening in
regard to the launch and failure of the product driver or other OS X
clues; since there may be something missing in the Panther OS.
Good luck & happy computing!
