the card is manufactued by Double H their web site states that the card will work with

win 98se 200 and xp

mac os 8.6.1 greater

after further testing!

with the card installed I installed 9.1 on a second partition.

i switched the devices to the bottom ports and it now shows up in the system profiler. but the devise ie usb modem is listed for all 4 ports. the card must be dead.

could i have a pci bus issue?
