Hello,

I have a G4 AGP 350MHz machine with OS X 10.3.5. I installed a firewire/USB 2 card in my old 7300 machine for firewire access. I have since bought a compact flash card reader which has a USB connection. I switched the firewire/usb 2 card to the G4 machine.

But, up until now, I have not been able to get USB 2 speeds. I have a USB 1 compact flash card reader and I tested them both with file tranfsers and the same speed.

I was under the impression that as long as you have X 10.2, USB 2 is supporeted. I called the card manufacturer, and they were able to walk me through the system info, and the G4 sees the 'high speed USB bus'. So, it is not the hardware.

Anyway, I look forward to any help. I am at a loss.

i have the same issue, but i think mine can be traced down to the fact that my printer (hp 1012) is usb 2.0 full speed but not usb 2.0 hi speed. sleazy.

from my system profiler, i forget which card i have, it was ~$20 at buy.com

USB High-Speed Bus:

Vendor Name: Apple Computer, Inc.

along with:

hp LaserJet 1012:

Vendor Name: Hewlett-Packard
Product ID: 3351 ($d17)
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec

despite hp's deceptive wording of "USB (compatible with USB 2.0 specifications)"
