[X4U] OT: OS 9's USB extentions

[Mark Des Cotes]

Let me apologize first off for this non X post but I'm not sure who 
else to ask.

I'm trying to get a USB card to work on my G3 Powerbook (WallStreet) 
under OS 9.1. According to the manufacturer's web site (card's at home, 
I don't remember their name) I have to make sure the USB support 
extensions are in installed in the System Folder. They provide a link 
to Apple's download page for USB Adapter Card Support. On the download 
page it states that the installer will place the following files in the 
extensions folder.

	▪ 	USB Support
	▪ 	USB Device Extension
	▪ 	USB Software Locator (requires Mac OS 9)
	▪ 	HID Library
	▪ 	Serial ShimLib
	▪ 	USB Mass Storage Support
	▪ 	USB Mass Storage Extension

But it also includes this warning.

Important: Mac OS versions 9.1 and later include a later version of 
this software. Installing USB Adapter Card Support 1.4.1 over Mac OS 
9.1, 9.2 or later could result in the USB adapter card not working.

I have OS 9.1 installed but from the above list I can only find HID 
Library and Serial ShimLib in my extensions folder. Are the other files 
missing or does OS 9.1 have them incorporated somehow within the OS and 
no longer require the extensions? I'm not sure if I should try the 
installer or not.

Suggestions?
