1.0 out of 5 stars Bug in chipset, IOGEAR is investigating, May 16, 2003

This review is from: 2port USB 2.0 Pci Card for Bothmac & Pc (Personal Computers)

After installing the card it would instanteously reboot my Windows XP machine with no warning or proper shutdown. Escalated to IOGear and Tech. Support responded that they have a major bug on the last chipset on the card that they have not fixed. Recommended I return it for a refund.

I bought this product from swimmouse at the market place. The shipment was prompt. And the USB card was in brand new condition. I have a windows 2000 professional PC. The installation was straight forward.
