Q: PCI card not working

Greetings,

 

I just bought a PCI Express card to add USB 3.0 to my Mac Pro (2008 model) but it looks to be unrecognised; System Profiler says “Driver installed: no” about this card, which is at least in the list of cards.

The accompanying CD has several folders (for which it's unclear which is the one I want) but I couldn't find a good one.

 

It's a PCI Express card from “Delock”, however there's no product name, except the description.

 

What can be done to correct the problem?

Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

    I tried on 10.8 and 10.11.

     

    Thanks for the information.

    I tried with Mac OS 10.8 and 10.11 and none worked. I could have tried with others, since my Mac's hard disk is partitioned with 5 OS versions, but I thought it was not worth doing it.

     

    Now, the vendor accepts to take the card back; I said to him I would continue to buy another card, mainly to be polite. He then asked me to come with a list of several possible cards so if one is unavailable, others may be possible.

     

    John talked about the Sonnet USB card, although I'm not sure about the exact model's name. Any other idea would be welcome.

     

    Thanks to all who responded so far.
