Can I add USB2 to my trusty B&W?

[AlphaDog]

I'm looking at all the "leftover" computer parts and pieces that have accumulated in my den, and I found a USB2 card that I bought for the MDD, but it was never installed. Can I stick it in the B&W that I use as a server? The B&W has a G4 550 processor in it and is running 10.3.9. My Canon printer is supposed to be USB2, but I've been running it with USB1; a little speed bump would be nice.

Thanks!

It should work.

[AlphaDog]

Thankee. It won't blow up or anything, huh?

[Racer X]

probably not.

[Gutenberg]

But it could. That would be fun. If it starts throwing sparks would you give me a call so I can come over?

[AlphaDog]

Sure! If it explodes, I'll try to get to the camera before calling 911.

It's funny but I've never thought of the words "trusty" and "B&W" taking place in the same sentence.

Your experiences may differ a bit from others. My 3 B&Ws 2 rev 1s and a rev 2, have all been very reliable, with the exception of the FW controllers in the rev 1s.

OWC cards with FW and USB 2 on them are now $20.

I paid $110 for the same thing (from OWC) for an Orange Micro, back in April 2002.
I called yesterday to get a credit for tthe difference between what I paid and what they sell for now - but Ben told me he was sending me an old shoe instead.

Hey -- if it is a $90 shoe, I'll take it.

Is it a nice shoe? Can he send me one, then you can send me yours, then i will have a pair of nice shoes? Everyone deserves a pair of nice shoes.
