- I expanded my MacPro with this Pci express, USB 2.0 / 5 port adapter after another card failed to work in the same machine. No problems, easy installation.Update 9/2011I recently updated from OS 10.6.7 to 10.6.8 and now I lose function of the card with computer sleeping. Function returns after re booting. The best solution is a no sleep preference setting so far. There is no available update or fix for this at present.Apple Mac Pro MA356LL/A Desktop PC (Two 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processors, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, SuperDrive)
- I thought it would be easy to find a PCI card to expand my USB ports on my first generation 8-core Mac Pro. After searching and asking around for a couple hours, I found that the trick was to search for a PCI Express card. This was very easy to install with no software updates. My Griffin Simplifi iphone/card reader doc was plugged into the back of my Apple Cinema screen. It worked fine for a few months. But all the sudden I started getting error messages which I tracked to the usb source not getting enough power. This doc is now plugged to my new Belkin USB PCI Express card and is back to normal.
