GE 98780 Card Reader

I checked on General Electrics website but they only have a Windows driver for their 98780 19-in-1 Card Reader. Does anyone know of any kexts for OS X Tiger that would work?

PowerMac G4 Quicksilver (2001) 384mb RAM at 733mhz, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Hi, have you tried it yet?

Most USB card readers don't need any drivers or kexts, even for OS9...

System Requirements:

Computer with at least one USB port
Windows® 98SE, ME, 2000, XP and Vista
Requires Macintosh OS 9 or X; Built for Mac OS X Windows® 98SE requires a downloadable driver available at www.jascoproducts.com

As far as I know the Windows XP machine we have installed the driver automatically like it does for most devices (plug-&-play). I checked on Linux and it says the card is formatted as FAT32.

It can read my flash drives just fine, and those are FAT32 shrugs I think it's just OS X being weird at this point haha. And no, I don't have a usb hub.

Wow, it's taken a while but I've finally gotten back to this.

Even with file sharing enabled it still doesn't appear on in OS X 😕

But it shows on the PC?

If so, try turning off the Firewall in Windows. and Right Click Enable File Sharing on thid device.
