This devicecame without one piece of literature at all! Luckily I knew how to put the card into the computer, BUT not one pice of paper to tell you which driver to use with that card. The mini-CD comes with about 6 different USB card softwares; depends on which type you get I suppose. Plus their are other card softwares on that CD. If you unknowingly put in the wrong card, this could cause big trouble. Put the CD into the player, and let hardware manager scan for the proper driver is your vest cet. MY ADVICE: GET A BETTER CARD!

Don't waste your money on this. I bought one for my Powermac G4. It showed up fine in Leopard, but then I started having problems. I am constantly getting ''USB Overcurrent'' warnings telling me that the USB port will be disabled. Only 3 of the 5 USB ports actually work. My Mac either shuts off the rest or they just don't work. A word of warning for Mac users: Don't buy any USB cards with a VIA or ALI Chipset. They almost always have problems with Macs. Get a card that has the NEC chipset. Overall, an okay card for the price. only 3 out of the 5 ports work and it's giving OS X overcurrent warnings. Save your money for a decent USB card.

This USB card is great! I have a USB inkjet printer, USB speakers, and 2 USB flash drives. This PCI card detects them all and works sonic fast. Hint: if you're having problems with your PCI USB extension card, the PCI slot on your mobo might not work. Consider that before you try to take the card back. I'm glad I decided to keep the card instead. Thanks again TigerD!

Some had luck buying this USB2 PCI card. I for one lost my gamble. The card freezes the machine about once a day, or whenever it has to handle a few minutes of transfer. I have tried it with different drivers, in different slots, have taken it out to test the machine with another card for a few days and tried it again after, three times. The card is the culprit. The only thing I haven't done is to try it on another computer. No more time to waste with this 12$ card. To the wastebasket it goes.

REVIEW BY: TTH Reviewed  Nov 09, 2007
I purchased two of these sorry pieces of equipment. They have not worked properly in any of the 6 computers I have tried them in. Masscool technical support will not respond to emails or phone calls. I will assume I am stuck with two pieces of junk.

What Is USB 2.0?
USB 1.1 was great when it was introduced almost a decade ago.  But the newer USB 2.0 transfers data dramatically faster - up to 40 times quicker. Plus, USB 2.0 provides additional bandwidth for multimedia and storage applications, which are growing larger every year. Also to your advantage is the fact that USB 2.0 is forward and backward compatible with USB 1.1, which means that cables and connectors made for the original USB configuration will also work perfectly in a USB 2.0 port, though some newer devices are specifically designed for USB 2.0.  It is always a good idea to verify the version of USB supported by each device you want to use.
