Recent Macs Have Built-in USB 2.0

Posted by pudge on from the taking-your-word-for-it dept.

RalphBNumbers writes "According to a forum thread at CreateMac, a Korean Mac community, the newer MDD 1.25 and 1.42 GHz dual G4s actually use a NEC PD720101 USB 2.0 controller for their built-in USB. Apple's drivers only support USB 1.x, but you can apparently enable USB 2.0 functionality by using the drivers for a USB 2.0 card from Orange Micro that uses the same NEC controller. YMMV." Is there a translation of any of this, somewhere?

    Yeah that works for an iMac, right? Oh yeah, no it doesn't. Not a lot of room internally for extra drives, eh?
