- Nees a separate power supply
This works fine on a Mac Powerbook G4.The hitch is that you need the extra power supply if you are using a device that is supplied a large amount of power from the USB port. For example, a USB disk drive, such as a GO drive, needs the external power supply.If you plug in a device that draws a lot of power, it will lock up your machine and you will have to reboot.The power supply is OADB-0705-261G.You can ask IOGear about this.

- IOGEAR Hi-Speed USB 2.0 CardBus (GPU202)
Be sure you have reflected significantly before purchasing this product. The only things that I can use it for are my flash disks. And it speeds up the data transfer. For anything else, you MUST have the power adapter (which does not come with the cardbus).
Even with the power adapter, this bus would not support a printer.
Otherwise, it works fine.

- Great product!
Great product! The quality is superb, and, I believe people only complain that it doesn't work because the device can only provide so much phantom power to your peripherals. However, it does function with devices requiring less power, like a wireless keyboard/mouse combination or an externally powered ext. hard drive. Both work flawlessly!
It does protrude a bit, but that's pretty expected.
Rating: - Working Fine
Some of the comments have information that is not accurate, stated as if it applies to all machines with Intel chipsets.
I'm running Win'XP w/SP3. IBM ThinkPad T40 with an Intel 82801 chipset.
The IOGEAR installed fine and is working with a Seagate 500GB USB2 drive, with absolutely no issues.
Hope that helps others considering this device.

- Terrible Device
First off, it's bulky so it won't fit in my dual PCMIA slot if I am using another PCMIA card at the same time. Second, if you are going to use this device with an iPod, you need to buy the power cord (not included) for this device. Otherwise, it does not provide enough power to interact with your iPod.
