Re: Anyone using a StarTech PCI420USB card? (USB 2.0, 4-port, PCI card)

I just bought and installed a StarTech PCI420USB card for use in my PowerMac G4 AGP Graphics running Debian Lenny. It's a PCI card that has 4 external USB 2.0 ports and one internal port. When I try to plug a hub or a USB flash stick into it, I get the following messages in syslog: kerne

Would love to use mac cards, but these mac 2930 cards are narrow 10 mhz bus speeds. My 160 and 320 dual channels handle the wide ldv 10-15K drives, I have a couple of old narrow 0.5-2 gig drives laying around for a boot device. But once I figured out the cards were messing with each other I fin

You could use the Live-CD System Rescue CD. It contains smartctl and a number of others. Please note that it runs on Intel processor. The PPC version is very old. But if you have the disk in an enclosure and access to an Intel processor PC then you can easily plug the enclosure with problem dis
