Rating: Summary: Did not work in my computer Review: I run an amd k-6 500mhz with win98se and I could not get the card to install at all. It caused my system to lock up and even restarted itself during installation (that wasn't supposed to happen). I called iogear's tech support and was told it was a bad card. So, I sent it back and got another (Amazon.com's customer service was great!) and the second card did the same thing. I guess it was my computer, but I put my old usb card back in (2 port 1.1) and now I run a 4 port hub off that and it works ok. Maybe my system is just too old to run a 2.0 card so I'll just have to wait till I upgrade.
Rating: Summary: Works great with XP Pro Review: I use this card in several desktops and it works just fine.I got them mainly for backups and also bought the Maxtor 120GB 3000le USB2 external hard drive. USB 2.0 is pretty impressive.
Rating: Summary: Works great! Review: Installation was a breeze. Moving my photos and MP3s to and from my flash cards is faster than ever. One downside: no more time for a bathroom break or a quick snack during the file transfer. :)
Rating: Summary: More older Mac compatibility problems Review: Just like Joe, I read the box and thought this card would work with my Mac G3 All-In-One because the only requirement was OS X. It did work fine, with my printer and keyboard. Then I tried to use an external USB2 hard drive, and it was really slow (USB 1 speeds). Then IOGear told me my hardware isn't supported. I even have a G3! But they don't support Beige, only Blue & White. (All-in-one is like Beige.) Read carefully! ... we're supposed to check the website before buying any of their products? Well, no big deal, I probably won't buy any more of their products. ...
Rating: Summary: USB 2.0 Its worth paying a little extra Review: There are cheaper IOGEAR cards out there, but it is worth paying more for more ports. The two port cards get kind of crowded when you try to plug in a USB yoke, and foot pedals (for flight simulators) the joystick and the mouse. Decisions, decisions. The small amount extra to go from 2 ports to 4 or 5 is well worth it, and I can justify the upgrade, because I want to be able to do faster scanning. If you have no free PCI slots, and have to choose between USB and Firewire upgrade but do have a free drive bay, consider a joint tray card with both firewire and usb slots.
Rating: Summary: Works as advertised Review: Used this card with a Dell Optiplex 150GX, and Windows XP. After inserting the card, turned on the computer, and XP recognised it immediately, and installed the correct drivers automatically. Works like a champ...
Rating: Summary: Buy it! Review: Well worth the money. Easy installation, works as intended. Have it for about 2 months now and no problems so far and I've got an older Duron based PC.
Rating: Summary: iomega usb 2.0 bad experience Review: when installed on a dell gx 240 running windows 2000 professional, my iogear usb 2.0 card did not function properly. it did not support my sandisk sd card reader or iomega 52x disk burner (both usb 2.0 compatible) but did work with my dell axim. when i called iogear's support desk they ended up telling me that these usb 2.0 items would just not work with the iogear card. then i reimaged my machine with xp professional, and all the usb 2.0 peripherals began to work, if only for a few days. finally, the iogear 2.0 card gave out altogether and died.
