I just acquired a card that might very well draw the attention of Macbidouille/Hardmac regulars. It's a USB2/FireWire/Gigabit Ethernet combo card, but the most interesting part of this card (card manufactured by SIIG) is the price of 90 Euros ! I bought it through the webshop www.pearl.fr It is not supported officially on OS X, but the USB and Firewire parts are natively supported by the Mac, and, since the NIC part features a Realtek chip, you just need to download and install the appropriate driver from Realtek's website : http://www.realteak.com.tw (The stable driver is for 10.2 but there is a beta driver for 10.3) Everything works as expected in my AGP G4 Powermac Rev1, as well as in my Beige G3 running 10.3 |
