Hi all,

 
I have a 5 port USB 2.0 PCI card I’m trying to make work in my beige G3/233 desktop. My Mac is running Mac OS 9.2.1. I got the USB card used with no packaging, manuals or software/CDs.
 
The only markings on the USB card is the NEC logo with the part # SD-NECU2-5E1i. That appears to be the USB chipset, and not necessarily the model of the actual card. Screenshots attached.
 
At first I tried a spare StarTech.com PCI2USB 2 port USB card. It didn't recognize USB devices, so I installed Apple USB Adapter Card Support 1.4.1. That card works. It’s only USB 1.1 though.
 
Then I removed that card, and installed the 5 port USB 2.0 PCI card. The Mac crashes on start-up every time with a type-11 error with the card installed. I remove the card, and the Mac starts up fine.
 
Do I need Apple Mass Storage Support 1.3.5? Is there a newer version of Apple USB Adapter Card Support 1.4.1 for use with OS9?
 
Does this need a driver? I can’t find one. SybaUSA seems to sell a multipart USB card with that chipset but doesn’t seem to offer a Mac driver.
 
Any ideas? I'd love to have USB 2.0 on this
 
Tks!
