Hello,
Would anybody know where to obtain a 10.4.X driver for a Cypress IDE to USB2.0 bridge chip based external enclosure?
Here's my setup: Dual G4 533 Digital Audio, 1Gig, 30Gig/160Gig RAID/Superdrive. The USB 2.0 card is a Q-Stor 5 port model. It will see USB 1.1 devices such as a Bluetooth adapter, or a USB laser printer. System profile recognizes the card as a high speed USB device, however the big problem that I'm getting is that my external drive will not be recognized. Incidentally the hard drive is a 200GB Seagate. My intent is to use the 200 GB drive to replace all 3 internal drives. Then my plan was to use the case for a secondary DVD+RW drive.
Incidentally the enclosure will mount if connected to the built in USB 1.1.
So far in my research, I've been able to determine that a driver was written for the Cypress bridge chip, but it only works with 10.2.
Does anybody have similar problems with USB 2.0 and external enclosures with a Cypress bridge chip? I may have to bite the bullet and change over to a Firewire enclosure.
Any good deals out there on a PCI ATA-133 card?
Thank you,
Sheldon
