 Rating:  - Good for old laptopsI have a fairly old laptop with only a single USB 1.1 port, which has recently decided to stop working properly, so getting more USB ports was a must for me.

I installed the card onto my Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 Laptop using the instructions and CD provided with the notebook card. The first problem i came across was that most devices that are not externally powered such as usb flash drives and floppy disk drives may not work unless you plug in the supplied AC Power lead, without it the card simply did nothing when i plugged in certain BUS powered ...
