Hi all, I have a nice 1.2 GHz G4 Cube on my desk, and if I could somehow get USB 2 into it, it would be way more useful as a “thin client” ;-) I was looking at the macio airport kernel glue, but could not immediately figure out how much standard pcmcia/cardbus that is. Is there any chance I could hack up some kernel patch glue to get a pcmcia/pccard USB 2.0 NEC chip based card working in there - or is it totally hopeless? Thanks for any tip and merry christmas!
I'm not 100% sure. I think it's some kind of PCMCIA card but PCMCIA is basically just some kind of ISA bus with control lines. I honestly don't know much more about it. Cheers, Ben.
