Product Description

With the USB 2.0 Controller, simple to install and set up, adding USB 2.0 support to your portable computer has never been easier. USB 2.0 offers transfer speeds up to 480Mpbs (faster than FireWire, and 20 times faster than USB 1.1), perfect for next generation of external high-speed storage devices that's available on the market today. CompuCable's USB 2.0 CardBus Controller is offered with bundled Windows utility which provides safe disconnection on the legacy Windows OS (98/Me). The MacOS X driver enables hi-speed USB data transfer for storage devices such as the FireXpress USB2 storage conversion kits. The USB 2.0 Controller has the ability to sustain a full-power (500mA) USB 2.0 device, such as bus-power USB hub. The controller can automatically detect the devices power consumption and enable 500mA support on demand to the required port, and provides over-current protection to protect your investment. Optional DC input allows you to connect two high-power devices to the controller.

Macintosh owners beware!.......2006-09-21

I bought this because I needed USB 2.0 support on my PowerBook Pismo. The brand may say Compucable here, but it is really made by AddLogix.

It was supposed to come with OS X drivers, but the included CD only had drivers for Windows. I downloaded the alleged OS X drivers from AddLogix's web site, but again, I found no OS X drivers in the download. I emailed AddLogix support to ask for the drivers, but they have failed to respond.

If I don't hear anything in the next couple of days, this thing is going back to Amazon.

I am not impressed with this device. I bought this to go along with an external DVD recorder (iomega), because my laptop (Compaq 2195US) only has USB1.1 ports. While the flow of data into my computer seems to be fine (i.e., ripping a DVD to my hard disk), the output is too shakey. I have never successfully burned a DVD using these ports (instead I use the USB 1.1 and wait for about 3 hours). I've likewise had problems printing through this card. I've played around a bit with the drivers, but I think it is a hardware problem.
