    Bought a (brand new) 5-port USB 2.0 PCI card for one of my PM G5. Card is equipped with a NEC0720101F1. Carddesign is capable for V3,3 and 5V and should also be able to run 33MHz as well as 64MHz. (see pics).

    But PM does'nt even start with this card - power LED flashes1 time and over. Tested it in 2 different PM G5, which both have PCIe (and PCI-x) in top and middle slot. When card was removed, everything worked fine. One time PM boots to Morphos, but USB (even the internal ports!!) where dead.

    After inspecting removed card I found this:

    Red line marks the connection directly to all 5 USB-Ports (Pin 1?) - think it's the 5V line.

    I've different USB cards running in PM (VIA and NEC), but never seen something like this.

    Anybody know, what could be happened here?
