For Mac Users, It Really Is Plug & Go!
(4 out of 5) by Caffiend on Jul 25, 2006 (California USA)As a long time Mac user in a PC-product dominated world, I always twitch slightly when installing generic "dual platform" products. No need in this case -- I slapped one into an older G4 (Gigabit Ethernet model with an Powerlogix processor upgrade) running MacOS 10.4.7, fired up the machine, and boom 4 additional ports (5 if you count the internal one, which I'm gonna figure out something to do with), no fuss, no muss, no drivers or tweaking needed. Although I haven't tried any formal timing runs, reading files either directly from a digital camera or via a generic flashcard reader is very notably faster (why I installed the card in the first place) making this product a very good investment of $20.

Couldn't be easier!
(5 out of 5) by John Carlson on Jun 13, 2003 (Wilmington, Vermont USA)I got this to upgrade my Windows 98 SE computer to USB 2.0. I had been told by many people that I would have a very hard time getting it to work because of the age of my computer,however I had it installed and running in fifteen minutes. The directions were clear and best of all I didn't have to take out my old USB 1.1 hub so I now have nine USB ports. I highly recomend this USB card.

Works - But
(3 out of 5) by Mike from Michigan on Jan 20, 2007Easy to install in a dual G5 Power Mac, no drivers required. The card works fine with OS 10.4.8, but the computer will not go into Sleep Mode if a disk drive is connected to this card (including iPods). The drives will sleep, but not the Mac. The computer will sleep fine if my scanner, card reader (without card) and IR remote are plugged into this card. Also, if you plug your keyboard into the card, you can't wake the computer because the card is "sleeping". I checked the ADS website and there are no fixes for the sleep issues. If you can work around the quirks, the card does work.

Easy to install. Works great.
(5 out of 5) by michael b. on Dec 2, 2007 (Silicon Valley, Ca)I used this in my older Mac G3 for my new iPhone. The iPhone would not work with the USB 1.0. So I got this, just installed it and restarted. It worked great.
