| Sonnet PCI USB / Firewire Card Drivers for Mac OS 9 | |
| Posted by: BustedCap97 on 2022-11-07 14:15:12 I have a purple Sonnet PCI USB / Firewire card and it works in Mac OS X, but apparently it is also supposed to work in Mac OS 9. My two onboard USB ports are taken up by a keyboard and mouse, and It would be great if I could get this card running under Mac OS 9. I have not been able to locate drivers for it. Does anyone know about these cards enough to point me in the right direction? | |

If you install the card before running the system installer it should auto detect. But I usually do a custom install to make sure the PCI USB option is selected. You can re-run the installer over the top of your current install if needed. | |
