Hi all,
I will soon be receiving a USB PCI card (many thanks to Byrd!) for use in my TAM.
Everything seemed to be in order, until I went to look for the drivers to run the card. It seems that you need at least OS 8.5, but my TAM runs System 7.6.1. I have always wanted a Macintosh running System 7, and out of my collection, this is the only one that has it. I have no intention of upgrading the OS just to run the USB card. I also REALLY don't want to swap the hard drive or anything like that. Basically, I want to know if there is a way to get the USB card to work in my computer with the current OS?
I think it is an impossible ask, but I figured if anyone knew how to do this, it would be you guys. To even have USB 1.1 would be great. The current HDD is a 2GB jobbie, and I'd like to run mp3s and be able to copy over programs and files quickly using a removable USB stick. I have a spare 8GB stick ready to go so I can run my entire mp3 collection through the fantastic Bose sound system.
Any suggestions?
