Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Can't tell the difference between a serial port and a parallel port? USB solves this confusion by using just one standard plug-in for all peripherals. And you can link one USB product to another in an ongoing chain. You don't even need to shut down and restart your PC to attach or remove a peripheral. Just plug it in! The PC automatically detects the peripheral and starts up the installation software.Just install this internal PCI card into your desktop PC and, instantly, you can begin connecting USB peripherals. Connect USB-based printers, modems, speakers, scanners, and hundreds of other devices. Easy USB installation makes adding new hardware a breeze. No complex installation, confusing plug-ins, or IRQs. And you can chain up to 127 USB products to your PC.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 12 Jan 2002
By 
C. Jeffery "booms" (Cork, Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: ADS USB Port (Desktop) (Personal Computers)
The card was simple to install and works perfectly. I have (had) a non usb mac.
The only thing I would point out is that it has only 2 ports this causes difficulty if you are connecting a usb mouse, printer and scanner, though you could always buy an external hub to run other usb devices off.

4.0 out of 5 stars What a great idea, 1 May 2001
This review is from: ADS USB Port (Desktop) (Personal Computers)
This is a great idea.

What better way to upgrade your old computer without the USB ports so that you can use the USB scanners and PDA's.

It is alot cheaper than buying a whole new computer and also means that you have more time doing other things than waiting for you picture that you have scanned to come onto your computer.

If you don't have USB ports on your computer then you need to buy one of these.

Buy one, buy one NOW!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I only use it for one thing, but hey, It worked., 17 Aug 2001
By Jason Zagar - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: ADS USB Port (Desktop) (Personal Computers)
Mind you, I haven't tried this with 3000 different USB products but I bought it with a Digital camera so I could use the USB port to get my pictures.

I got the card, turned off my computer, and put it into the PCI slot and screwed it in. I turned my computer on, it found and installed the USB card. I plugged in the camera's cord and plugged the cord into the camera. It recognized it and installed it. It's working perfectally.

What more can I say, It works just like any other USB port that I've used and I haven't had any problems with it. So if you need a USB port in your computer because it's old and doesnt have them, this here is your product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty unbeatable for the price, and works with linux., 23 Aug 2001
By Alex J. Avriette "Alex Avriette" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: ADS USB Port (Desktop) (Personal Computers)
I have a pair of older macs here, a 9500 and an 8500. I installed this card in both machines. The card ran in MacOS 9, after using Apple's USB updater, which is available from their support/downloads site (for free of course). I also used this card with very good success in linux (no modules or kernel recompiles necessary in fact). One drawback is the card was not recognized by Mac OS X. However, with these older machines, Linux is a much better choice anyways.

Highly recommended at the price...

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Great!, 21 Jan 2002
By Chet Claudon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: ADS USB Port (Desktop) (Personal Computers)
Not much to say. Plugged it in, computer found it immediately, and Windows 98SE loaded the drivers. Five minutes tops. I now have an old Pentium 1 that is working great with the latest USB devices. I wish everything worked like this, just as advertised!
