PCIe USB cards

Will this card work with my mac pro quad 2009

{quote:title=Considering a hub? Consider the tradeoffs. Every peripheral you plug in has to share a single port's bandwidth (potentially affecting the devices' performance), and you may have to plug it into a power outlet as well as your computer in order to operate some devices.Sonnet's Allegro Express USB adds five full-bandwidth, high-speed USB connections to your computer without the need for an external box or AC power adapter—no trade-offs necessary. Each of this card's five powered ports supports bus-powered peripherals (devices that work without a separate power supply, including some external drives and scanners) and hi-speed data transmission.}{quote}
Taken from the sonnet site, it really depends on what you're connecting to the hub really. Multiple external hard drives? or just mouse, keyboard? Using a hub will with multiple hi-speed peripherals will definitely slow each other down.

  • Problem with KTV3 and PCI USB card extension from QTEC type 13068

    Hello all,
    I have been trying to make work a PCI USB card extension from QTEC type 13068. This card allows to give 4 USB  ports more.
    My problem is that oinly 2 ports are working and WINXP SP1 is saying that there are not enough ressources for all the PCI functions. However there is enough free IRQ. Even using this card alone on the mainboard give the same error.
    I am using a KTV3 (MS-6712 VER:1.0A) and I have no idear why this is happening. Could it be a bad interaction between the BIOS and the card?  wall Or WIN XP? angryfire
    All comments and ideas to try are welcome especially from those who have this QTEC card.
    Regards.

    What operating system are you using?  The card requires SP1 for XP and SP4 for 2000.  If you have these, try to uninstal the cardl and let Windows reinstall the card on start-up.

  • No USB power on wake up to PCIe USB card after 10.6.8 update. how to fix?

    Ever since 10.6.8 update my PCIe USB card does not provide power to USB devices after Mac wakes from sleep. I have to restart to get it to work. How do I fix this before I down grade back to 10.6.7?

    I did a clean install on a brand new hard drive and found that both Remote Desktop Client 3.5.1 and OX 10.6.8 caused the PCI express to not provide power to USB devices. I have firewire but nothing plugged in to test. I updated each one separatly (under separate install test) and both had the same effect. The only way to fix I have found is to not install either one. I have send Apple a feedback and rang Apple Care to let them know. I don't know when a fix will come through. I am in the process of doing a fresh install of all my software to 10.6.7 (without R.T.C. I might get Lion but I will only install as a V.M. under Paralells 7 which I can use as a test bench from now on.

  • PCI USB Card Does NOT Work With Mass Storage Devices

    I have a StarTech PCI card with 6 USB 2.0 ports that I inserted in my 500 MHz (overclocked) B&W Power Mac G3. It works great for any USB device EXCEPT for any hard drive or DVD/CD-RW drive. I checked the system.log file for errors. Nothing shows up in System Profiler or Disk Utility, obviously. Here's what it consistently says:
    Dec 16 23:33:28 Geoff-Myers-Power-Mac-G3 kernel[0]: USBF: 674.997 [0xf9c000] The IOUSBFamily is having trouble enumerating a USB device that has been plugged in. It will keep retrying. (Port 6 of hub @ location: 0x62000000)
    Dec 16 23:33:33 Geoff-Myers-Power-Mac-G3 kernel[0]: USBF: 679.977 [0xf9c000] The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device.
    I'm running the latest version of Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.3. What is wrong? StarTech doesn't have a driver, but nothing should be necessary. Is there a 3rd party USB Mass Storage Device driver that might work better than the Apple generic driver? PLEASE HELP ME! I cannot live with USB 1.1.

    Some users have reported problems with certain brand cards and their controller chipsets, so trying a different card may resolve the problem. Keyspan and Macally are often mentioned as being more "Mac-friendly" than some other lessser-known brands or generic cards. Does the card have a mini-power port to supplement the power requirements? With USB 2.0, each port is on a separate bus, so a card with six ports should have one. To minimize the overall draw on the available power, I prefer to install USB cards with as few ports as are needed.

  • G4 867 DP (MDD) & G4 350 (AGP): PCI USB Card that Supports Deep Sleep?

    I am working on upgrading a couple of G4s and wanted to see if I could install a PCI USB 2 expansion card with multiple external ports in both (4 if possible). I'd like to use the same card in both G4s if possible. Both will be running 10.4.11 & 9.2.2. I'd like the card to support Classic if at all possible.
    I looked on OWC and first found the Sonnet Allegro; however, its product page notes it does support Deep Sleep so that is out:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonnet%20Technology/USB2/
    Then I found the IOGEAR Hi-Speed USB 2.0 PCI Card and thought I was good to go as OWC does not list any Sleep issues; however, after checking elsewhere (Amazon and other sites) this card has similar G4 Sleep issues.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/IOGear/GIC251U/
    So where, oh where have all the suitable cards gone?

    I’ve did some searching on Google/Google Shopping, Buy.com, Amazon, eBay, & OWC and I present my results as it may help others save time. The most plentiful cards still available appear to be the Belkin, the two IOGear units, and the BAFO.
    Looks like I’ll try the IOGear GIC250U first.
    Adaptec 3100LP:
    PDF manual says support only to 10.1.1 and it says that the driver will disable the deep sleep option on your Mac, requiring you to uninstall the driver file if you want sleep back.
    BAFO BF-460:
    Manufacturer says Windows only. A buy.com listing says Windows & Mac support but no other details. A Amazon listing says it supports “wake-up” function, but does not say what platform.
    Belkin F5U220:
    Manufacturer says 10.2.7 or above for “F5U220V1”. Some sellers list cards as F5U220BHP or simply F5U220 so make sure it has “V1” on the end. One Amazon feedback said it has sleep issues with G5 while another said it worked good with a G4. Negative Mac feedback on http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/firewire/fwusb_card_deepsleep.html
    GWC UC-160:
    Can’t find much information and could not find it for sale.
    IOGear GIC250U:
    Manufacturer says it will work at 1.1 speeds with 8.6+ and 2.0 speeds with X. Feedback at http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/firewire/fwusb_card_deepsleep.html said it did not work with G4 400 running 10.2.6 with drivers; did work with G4/350 AGP machine & Dual G4/533 Digital Audio.
    IOGear GIC251U:
    Manufacturer says it will work with Mac X 10.3.9 to 10.5. LOL, diagram manufacturer has shows external hard drive connections as one example of devices you can connect (a big no, no according to advice here). Amazon feedback said has sleep issues with 10.4.2 on G4; with a G4 QuickSilver 2002 it only worked in the PCI slot next to graphics card; it worked great in a G4 Digital Audio; G4 Quicksilver running 10.4.8 works great; works great in unknown Mac running 10.3.8; never worked on a 1Ghz Mirrored Door PowerPc with any version of X from 10.3 to 10.4.9; froze computer and fried nearby pci card in a QuickSilver G4; a dual 450 G4 has sleep issues.
    Keyspan U2PCI-5:
    Can’t find much information and could not find it for sale.
    O'toLink U2-C2A, U2-C2B, U2-P20N & U2-P50:
    Can’t find much information and could not find it for sale.
    Ratoc PCIU5:
    Manufacturer says Windows only & discontinued.
    Syba SD-LP-NEC4U:
    Manufacturer site says Windows only.
    USBWholesale UII-PCIP:
    Seems to be listed under company named BusLink instead. A single Amazon listing says Windows only.

  • PowerMac G5 PCIe USB Card

    Well, it seems like my search for an USB PCIe expansion card for my Dual Core 2.0 G5 is unforseeably at an end. I had been having conversations with someone at AAXEON about the availabilty of a PCIe card that was compatible with the Mac deep sleep mode.
    Apparently it won't happen. Here is the latest info I received on this:
    "I am sorry to inform you but the project is now suspended for not defined time. The problem is that Texas Instruments XIO2000 PCI-PCI-E bridge that is used on those boards does not fully support level 1(S1) power mode. Until the new version will be released the card will not be able to support deep sleep mode. We are not able to establish any time frame at this moment. I apologize for this."
    Anyone know of another solution for this? And a USB hub is NOT a solution, IMHO. I am tired of the rats nest of wall warts and want the USB card to be in the computer case.
    Thanks!

    Hi bilbo_baggins;
    True PCIe and PCI-X are not the same thing. PCI-X is PCI EXtended which is a bus structure very simular to PCI that is has a high bit rate because of increased speed and bus width. PCIe is on the other hand PCI Express which is in fact a switched bus structure so that ever port is given it full bandwidth.
    If you look carefully at the cards you will quicckly discover that there is no way of plugging one into the other.

  • Where can I get a PCI USB card for OSX 10.5 that will coat as little as one for a common PC?

    Every accessory for an Apple product cost way more than it should! I want to find a PCI USB hub that has a OSX driver, so I can install it in my G$ AGP 400Mhz, upgraded to a 1.6 Ghz with 1.25 Gb memory

  • Is it possible to boot a 7300 with a PCI USB card with OS 8.5 on a flash drive? Thanks

    Just wondering if it's possible to run a PowerMac 7300/180 with the operating system installed on a flash drive which fits into a USB PCI card? The old hard drive finally went bad and was just wondering if there was any form of flash storage alternative to purchasing a new SCSI hard drive. I have an original OS 8.5 installation CD, would that install onto a flash drive if the computer is able to recognize it? Thanks!

    Unfortunately, USB support in the older "PCI" Power Macs isn't firmware-based, so it won't be found in the 7300's ROM code.  If available, it's through the addition of a USB PCI card and is driver-based.  You can't boot from a device, if the drivers needed for recognition of the bus (on which that device is connected) are loaded after the boot sequence has been initiated.  USB flash drives are very useful for extra data storage in those old Macs, but you really need to be running OS 8.6 and download/install the "USB Adapter Card Support 1.4.1" for recognition of the PCI card itself.  If running OS 8.6, I've found that the optimal database of supported USB peripherals is contained in the USB Support files, that are included in the OS 9.1 Update.  The files need to be extracted with "TomeViewer" and placed in the OS 8.6 Extensions Folder.  Again, this will only help with the recognition of a USB device when the computer is up and running.  It cannot make a connected USB flash drive capable of booting the computer.

  • Any PCIe USB cards that work with Yosemite?

    I have a late 2012 MacPro currently running OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).  I search for a PCIe card with a minimum of 4 USB ports what will work with this system (most I've found online so far indicate "incompatible with Yosemite").  Anyone aware of a card out there that does work?  I am not connecting hard drives to the card so speed is not an issue (the card could be USB 2 or 3).
    Thanks,
    Carl

    I've been using one of these
    <http://www.sonnettech.com/product/allegro_express_usb.html>
    for years in my 2008 Mac Pro.  USB 2.0
    Works fine with Yosemite.
    (Don't worry about the big power connector on the card.  It's not used for a Mac.)

  • 10.4.3 and PCI USB Cards

    I have been using a Macally 5 USB port PCI card with my PM G5. It has never given me problems connecting to USB peripherals, but like many others, it did not allow the computer to sleep properly.
    When 10.4.3 came out, I noticed things changed a little. Now the computer will go into deep sleep on its own after the time I set in Energy Saver, which it never used to do. That is good, but it also now locks up when I put it to sleep or sometimes won't wake up. These problems don't happen evertime, but usually every other day or so.
    I have read somewhere that the Sonnett cards work well and don't interfere with the G5's ability to sleep with 10.4.3 installed. I am ready to get rid of my Macally card (already pulled it out), and replace it. Can anyone confirm the report I read about about the Sonnett cards or recommend another one that works well?
    Thanks for the help.

    Bob, I have a Sonnet Allegro USB II card in my G5. If I let the computer go to sleep on it's own it sometimes will not wake up forcing a hard restart. If I log out and then put the computer to sleep all is well. That little work around is a bit much for some, but for me it's fine as I don't leave my computer logged on when I'm not at my desk.
    I'm not aware after reading many posts here that there is a card that doesn't have some issue with G5's.
    Hope this helps.....

  • Powermac 8500 USB Card

    I have bought a PCI USB card for my Powermac 8500. The Card has a Opti 82C861 Firelink chip. This card works with my USB Mouse, Keyboard and Gamepad and I would like to use USB pendrives with my computer. I have tried with my Digitor 2gig USB pendrive but I don't think it is being detected properly. Would this be possible?
    The USB card is the only PCI card I have installed in my mac in the bottom slot.
    I reinstalled Mac OS 9.0.4 and upgraded it to 9.1 after I installed my USB card.

    Because the "USB Adapter Card Support 1.4.1" drivers pre-date the OS 9.1 Update, you should not use that installer beyond OS 8.6. OS 9.1 provides broader USB support and its included drivers can be manually installed on systems running OS 8.6 for better recognition of devices. You should find the following drivers in the Extensions folder, with #2 being essential for functionality of USB flash/hard drives:
    (1) USB Support
    (2) USB Mass Storage Support
    (3) USB Device Extension
    (4) USB Software Locator
    (5) HID Library
    (6) SerialShimLib
    (7) ENETShimLib
    How many ports are on the card? On older legacy Macs, I generally installed USB 1.1 cards having 2 ports. An external powered hub is useful, if there are many devices to connect - especially a bus-powered hard drive. I'd also recommend installing more memory. OS 9.1 could use a little more than 64 MBs of installed memory.

  • Still no fix for USB card sleep Issue

    Hi I just bought a 3rd party USB 2.0 card (an IOGEAR GIC251U). When I plug my LaCie extrenal USB drive in it works fine, until the computer has been to sleep. When the computer wakes up the drive has disappeared and I get a message saying that the drive has been improperly disconnected and that I can damage it by not ejecting before disconnecting.
    Looking at the posts on this forum, it seems that this PCI USB card sleep issue is a persistant problem. I have even heard buying a card described as a "crap shoot".
    That is not an acceptable answer to me. I insist that Apple reccomend a USB 2.0 card that it is willing to garuntee will work with my mac (an AGP G4 blue and white tower). If not, how can Apple in good faith sell computers with PCI that isnt equipped to handle built in apple features such as the sleep mode? I don't mean to sound like a demanding jerk of a customer but I dont think it is too much to ask that my computers advertised features (PCI expandability and sleep mode) both be able to work together.

    Hi
    xlr8yourmac.com has a wealth of info on compatable devices of all kinds, it's often worth looking there & other Mac sites before purchasing..
    Apple cannot possibly determine compatability of all available 3rd party devices, it is up to the vendor to determine what systems/OS versions their hardware will support.
    I would stick with a vendor that is known for Mac support, such as Sonnet (or others that are sold through Mac sites such as OWC, SmallDog,etc.,) unless you are willing to do significant research on a specific product for compatability with your specific setup prior to purchasing.

    lenovo H330 decktop
    thank you paul

    hi paul777,
    You probably purchased a PCI USB 3.0 hub that requires a 15pin SATA Power connector (like this item).
    The P4 connector that you described, is it the same as the picture below?
    If the PSU that you have is the same as the one below and both the SATA Power connector is already dedicated to the HDD/ODD then you may need to get a SATA Power Y Splitter Cable Adapter (like this item).

  • Anyone recommend a PCI USB Adapter?

    Does anyone have a PCI USB Card that is working well on x86_64? Can you post the brand and/or model?
    I'm having issues with my built-in USB ports and I'm going to try a PCI USB Adapter.
    I'd hate to randomly get the one brand that works horribly with *nix.
    This one is "Mac" ready which leads me to believe it'll work fine, but I've heard bad things about VIA chipsets.

    Thanks.

    If you can order from Newegg, then consider this card with a NEC chipset:
