When installing the F5U005-MAC in a PowerPC-based
Macintosh®computer with PCI slots and without built-in USB
ports, you must also install the Apple®USB Adapter Card
Support extensions. These extensions may be downloaded
from Apple®’s support web site at http://asu.info.apple.com.
• Users of Mac®OS version 8.5.1 should download USB
Adapter Card Support version 1.2.
• Users of Mac®OS 8.6 and above should download USB
Adapter Card Support version 1.3.5, or the most recent
version provided on the Apple®support web site.
Note: The USB Adapter Card Support Extension SHOULD
NOT be installed on Macintosh®computers with
built-in USB ports. These computers already
include support for built-in USB ports and USB PCI
adapter cards.
