[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1012653, member: 24160"] The simplest answer is that basically none of the hardware vendors are creating devices that are backward compatible all the way to Panther. Why? [IMG]http://img.skitch.com/20100306-ctfxgaq7ncw5k92pfatg8e8cmy.jpg[/IMG] It is unlikely that they even tested with any OS prior to 10.4.11. So, it's possible that it may work on an earlier version of 10.4. For sure they did not test it on any Powerbooks as there were quite a few of those that did not even have USB 2.0. You'll not find any external drives today that support USB 1.1 that shipped on the early Powerbook models. [/QUOTE]
