Hi everybody,
For the story I have an old (but performant) computer who hadn't USB 2.0, I have buy a PCI card and installed without problem.
It's incontestably more speed than USB 1.0 but it seems to be only USB 2.0
Full Speed (max 12 Mbit/s = USB 1.1) and not USB 2.0
High Speed (max 480 Mbits/s = USB 2.0).
I have an
Intel Garibaldi D850GB motherboard and this page of the support documentation concern me
Enabling USB 2.0 Support but in my bios I have not "
USB Configuration" parameter.
I think it's because I have a Gateway with a specefic bios GB85010A.
15A and not GB85010A.
86A...
My question if the next, is it possible to "crack" the Gateway bios and put the Intel one ?
Thanks a lot.
Pier

Try a different PCI slot. But it looks more like a software/driver problem.

Hum... I think that the bandwidth is locked by the bios... and the drivers of the PCI card are good.

Not possible.
An add-in PCI card does not use the system BIOS settings for USB.
Check your driver install as Denniss recommended.
Thanks.

Actually, I don't see.
You should show the "View -> Devices by connection".
It is more informative.
Thanks.

When you plug the devices in, do they show up under the Enhanced USB 2.0 Controller?

Yes !
Enhanced USB 2.0 Controller > USB 2.0 Root Hub > Mass Strorage Device

Then I would say that everything is working properly.
Thanks.
