Rating: Summary: Couldn't be easier Review: I bought this because my Dell Dimension 8100 did not have any USB 2.0 ports, and my new iPod required it. It took me longer to get the top off the computer then it did to install the card.Ten minutes later, I had my iPod plugged in and was downloading to it WAY quicker than before with the USB 1.0. Great product.
Rating: Summary: The Jury is still out. Review: I bought this card for my Micron 1.2 GH Athlon based system running WinME. The on-board USB power supply craped-out on my motherboard and adding a card seemed a much simpler solution than replacing the motherboard. Based upon the other two reviews, I figured it was worth a try, especially considering the low price.
After installing the card yesterday and attempting to install the software I am still not running after several hours of troubleshooting. The documentation and software that comes with this card is minimal at best. There is also very little information on their website. I emailed tech-support with a detailed description of my problem tonight we will see if they are any help.
When I reboot the computer after installing the card, the system finds the new hardware, but after installing the software (drivers) and then rebooting, the system asks for a windows file "openhci.sys." Presumably this is a winME file but sofar I haven't been able to download an up-to-date file from Microsoft?
More Later.
Rating: Summary: Couldn't be easier! Review: 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.
