Ryanux Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Hello, i bought a USB 2.0 & Firewire 400 Combo PCI Card, with these chips : -VT6214 -VT6306 (one for usb, the other for firewire) On the box of the card it is clearly mentionned : "Compatible with Windows 98/ME 2000, XP and MAC OS". Once plugged, it is detected by the system profile correctly, but when i plug some usb devices (i tried with 5 different devices) they are not recognised, not at all. Any help please?

wondergod Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 try returning it, sometimes the answer is simple and maybe you got a defective one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanux Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 i don't think so, it's new and it's recognised by the system profile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopazBar Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 These kind of things are better supported by Window XPhew. Re-run the tests under windows. If things work as expected under windows, then you know it is OSX issue. EDIT: Also, check the manufacture's website to see if they have any drivers.

Ryanux Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 i had a mini cd with drivers but only for windows... i have no windows on my hackintosh system, i'll try out on another PC tomorrow, but i really don't think that it's a problem from the card.

Ryanux Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 no, i used this for the firewire because my mobo (the same as yours) lacks FW, and for 4€ more i got 5 usb ports so it would have been silly to ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopazBar Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 10.4.8 is out with "- compatibility with 3rd party USB hubs". Maybe this will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
