I have installed Keyspan PCI USB 2.0 cards on two PL 6400R with success. Prior to installation I upgraded the BIOS and firmware.
I also installed a Lava USB 2.0 card on a PL 1850R with success.
I have had trouble with installation of either card on a PL 8500.
The Lava card simply is not recognized and the Keyspan card is recognized but as soon as I copy any information to the attached external drive, I received a BSOD with the following error message:
Stop: 0x0000000A, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x8046de3b IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Address:8046DE3B base at 8040000 Datestamp 3ee650cd - ntoskrnl.exe
This error usually indicates a bad driver, IRQ conflict, bad RAM or power issue.
I think it is a bad driver.
Can anyone suggest a stable USB 2.0 driver for the PL 8500?
The Lava USB 2.0 PCI is 5V only. The following is from Lava support: From: Charles [mailto:charles@lavalink.com] Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2004 6:57 PM To: fcalderon@bearmeasurisk.com Subject: Re: Urgent request using Lava TechDirect
Frank,
It is a 5V card.

I unscrewed the metal plates that cover the USB devices so I could fit both cards into slots 10 and 11 (66 mhz). The BIOS did not recognize that there was a card in the slot.
I think I need a stable 3V USB 2.0 driver. Does anyone know of a brand that has worked?
