If upgraded by MCE then you have a card-bus upgraded 2400. You probably don't have the correct set of extensions for whatever usb device you're trying and/or the appropriate Apple drivers. You did not mention what device you are trying to use. My MCE-upgraded 2400 works great with firewire and usb cards. > The seller advertised it as "carbus upgraded by MCE." When it arrived, > I find it is either: > NOT upgraded to true cardbus enablement as I understand it, meaning it > can now accept USB devices > or, > the seller did not know what they were talking about when they > mentioned "cardbus upgraded."(or does, but claims that a cardbus > upgrade means something different..)
