    5 of 5 Excellent Performance Monday, November 22, 2004
    Steven from Fort Wayne, Indiana  

    I purchased this in 2002 for a Pentium Pro Dell machine that locked up when using a generic USB 1.1 card. The instructions indicated that the drivers would install automatically but it was necessary to find the right directory and run an executable file to install the drivers. It has performed flawlessly.

    5 of 5 Work great. Price cannot be beat Monday, June 02, 2003
    Amin from Seattle, WA  
    I ordered this to get USB ports on an ancient computer (P166 with 64MB RAM). Got USB. Works with camera and is 2.0 too! For only $6 ( including free shipping, $10 rebate and postage for rebate) How can you beat that?

    5 of 5 Worked for me but............... Tuesday, February 04, 2003
    grizzled_gull from The rock-bound coast of Maine.  
    Windows XP Home Edition. I bought this card to run my new USB 2 Canon Scanner. Installation a breeze, however, in order to run the scanner at USB 2 speeds, I had to disable my on-board USB 1 ports in the bios of my motherboard. In my case, I wasn't using them anyway. Your mileage may vary..........

    5 of 5 Darn Fine Card Monday, February 03, 2003
    A Customer from New York, NY  
    Cheap ($20 pre $10 rebate), incredibly fast, good value. The only hiccup was during software installation, due to the unit being shipped without the correct drivers. I had to uninstall the unit from my OS, download the drivers, then reinstall (OS is Win 98SE). Laughably short documentation. Recommend purchase.

    5 of 5 Great USB Adapter Card Friday, September 20, 2002
    Mark from Fort Lauderdale, FL  
    I purchased this card about 2 months ago and it works great with my digital camera and it also works great with my newly purchased Compact Flash Reader(Simple Tech). The USB card installed without a hitch. I am a little weary of expansion cards because I had some friends having alot of headaches because all motherboards act differently when a card is attached. It is really funny because I purchased this card because of the free shipping from buy.com and the $10 rebate from IOGear. Guess what?? It is a certified USB 2.0 PCI adapter card. I bought it just because I needed a USB port to communicate with my digital camera and I received the latest and greatest in USB technology.

    5 of 5 Great product if you do not have USB capablities Monday, August 19, 2002
    Mark from Fort Lauderdale, Florida  
    I actually bought this product for the price tag($19.63 minus $10 rebate with free shipping) equals less than 10 bucks for USB connection. I know I am behind the times but I am trying to get as much out of my computer(I built over 5 years ago) as I can get. I have had other friends trying USB adapter cards with alot of frustration and failure. What I find really funny is that this USB adapter card supports the new HIGH SPEED 2.0 STANDARD. I just wanted USB capabilities to communicate with my new digital camera(Kodak Dx3600 & Simple Tech Compact Flash Link(UCF-100) reader and I recieved even a better gift. New USB standards. Both devices comminicate wonderful with this device. I would highly recommend this product.
