2.5" USB drive oddity
#5
In the same G4 MDD, if I hook a 2.5" USB HD to the built-in ports, it mounts. If I hook it to a USB2.0 card, it doesn't mount. But this case came with a secondary usb cable for power and when both are hooked to the USB Card, it mounts.

Maybe the USB cards don't provide quite enough power. Haven't tested with a USB2 hub yet as it prevents my G4 from sleeping.
