Just the job!
operating system:
Not ApplicablePerfect, very easy to install under windows XP, just pop it into a spare PCI slot, turn the computer on and XP installs it, that's it, no doing anything more. Maybe different for other OS's though, but it does come with a mini cd with drivers for win98.
Works great + one surprise
operating system:
LinuxPlugged into my Fileserver. Turned on. Worked without any issue. Excellent.
Nice surprise though. The card is listed as 5 port (1 Internal and 4 External). However that small black panel to the right of the internal port (on the photo) is a set of usb pin headers.
I've not tested the header yet but it looks like I should be able to connect it to my cases front socket. Handily enough it's also labeled on the PCB (+5v -D +D GND) making my life a wee bit easier.
Does exactly what it says!
operating system:
Not ApplicableFrom box to pc in 5 mins - XP found it and installed all the drivers. Cinch to install. Great way of giving a bit of extra life to a system that lacked USB 2.0!
So easy
operating system:
Windows XPPlug into a spare pci slot, and bootup, 4 extra usb 2.0 ports. XP picks up straight away.
Works great
operating system:
Windows XPAs stated, this is easy to install and works great. This card also has 1 set of header pins that can be connected to a front mounted usb port so I got one front usb2 port as well !
Excellent Card
operating system:
Windows XPCard worked fine for me, I would advise downloading the drivers first from :
http://drivers.viaarena.com/VIA_USB2_V270p1-L-M.zip
Picks up in WinXP a treat, excellent !
Works fine
operating system:
Windows VistaBought this for my aging socket A PC. Plugged it in, Vista found it straight away as a Via USB chipset hub and everything worked fine. Have a WD 250Gb mybook, keyboard and Joytech game pad connected.
No problems and Vista compatible. Cant go wrong for the price.
Great value
operating system:
Windows XPI bought 2 of these for 2 different computers (both Windows XP).
The installation was easy, however Windows XP didn't pick up the device on either computer. Device Manager came up with "RAID Controller" but couldn't find the drivers.
Downloaded drivers from
http://drivers.viaarena.com/VIA_USB2_V270p1-L-M.zip
Restart both PCs, and it worked!
Now it works! Thank you eBuyer
WORKS WITH LINUX (UBUNTU)
operating system:
LinuxPlug it in, switch the PC on, and Fiesty Fawn (7.04) autodetects it. No drivers, no hassle. Just works. Buy it.
Great with Win98
operating system:
Windows 98Having failed to get a network card working with Win98 first edition I bought this only to find that the box said 98/SE. However, having downloaded the drivers (no CD) it was working in no time at all. The on board USB ports on the machine have never worked correctly, so now I can transfer data without the need of the network.
