I have an XLR8 usb pci card in my 7600/132 (beefed up with a G3 300MHz card), 160M ram, etc. I run a Canon 1220u scanner/epson 880 printer/epson digital camera and a zip drive (all usb) through a Belkin powered hub and the pci card itself. Everything has worked flawlessly. As a matter of fact, it worked so well I bought a similar setup for the office too. That too, works and runs like a raped ape. Get the card. ---------- In article <silly-B249DE.16345122012001@news.pe.net>, Thomas Armagost <silly@well.com> wrote: > A tech support guy told me that I'd be a "beta tester" if I installed > this PCI card.
