I got a USB 2.0 ADS HD kit, put in a seagate HD and everyting works fine on USB 1.1 but its Slooooooooow.
Mac is G4 dual 1 gz, lots of RAM, lots of internal HD. OS 10.3.4
I got a generic PCI card with 4 usb 2.0 and 2 firewire 400 connections.

Cypress USB Storage driver release 1.0 for Mac OS X 10.1
This driver provides support for ATA and ATAPI storage devices using the ISD725, ISD200 or ISD300 USB Bridge chips.
so it seems to me that the computer see the card. the top two catagories are under 'PCI" info.
the middle is under USB info in sys profiler. NB it sees the USB 2 I thinik and the Firewire.
the last is some software from ADS that came on a CD for 2.0 drivers. I did not install these as they seem quite old.
Sooo the questions are: I assume that OS 10.3.4 will run USB 2.0 and I do not need 2.0 drivers.
on the generic card there is a criptic note that a DC power cable can be connected to the card internally for "optional instalation for additional Current Support) I have no idea what that means.
any ideas on what to do to get this to work?
the card seems to be recognized, but can't communicate with the ADS HD. does this mean its defective?
any and all help appreciated.
