USB Support Requirements for PC and MAC

PC:

USB is supported in Windows* 98, Windows* Me and Windows* 2000. USB is not supported in Windows NT* 4. USB is only supported in Windows* 95 if you are running at least version 4.00.950B, and have installed the Windows 95 USB Supplement available from Microsoft. If you don't have USB sockets on your PC, try our Xircom® 2 Port or 4 Port PortGear PCI to USB Upgrade card.

Mac:

All iMacs* are USB Ready. For G3 (other than Beige) you need to run Mac OS* 8.6 (or better) and USB Extensions 1.2 (or better). If you have a Beige G3 you can run Mac OS 8.5 with USB Extensions 1.2, but we recommend OS 8.6 (or better) and USB Extensions 1.41 (or better). If you don't have USB sockets on your Mac, try our Xircom® 2 Port or 4 Port PortGear PCI to USB Upgrade card.
