Been looking at 2 cards IOGear Hi-Speed GIC220U USB adapter and Macally UH-275. Anybody know if these cards will work with a G3 or if anyone can recommend a card that will work with the G3 I would really appreciate it. Using OSX if that helps

Thanks in Advance

I can recommend the Belkin USB cards, have two of them in my G4 and previously in a PM7300.

What kind of G3 are you using?

I can tell you that a Belkin USB card did NOT work in my platinum G3 desktop. It caused random freezes. Other users of Belkin cards have reported the same.

The $30 Keyspan card, however, works perfectly (both with OS 9.2.2 and 10.2.6) and has since I installed it over a year ago.

Get a MacAlly. I've seen IOGear not working in some G3's. MacAlly on the other hand, has worked in every machine I've installed on.

The G3 I have is definitely the old or Beige model. I called J & R Music World this morning and they have the MACALLY card in stock. I'll probably go with this card unless I heard others had some hardship with this card.

Thank You for you Help
