insaneu Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hello! I have a PCMCIA card which i want to use with Leopard on a Gigabyte DS4 mobo. I already had this running ona PC with a Buffalo PCMCIAtoPCI adapter. In Windows i didnt have to do nothing at all, the adpater was recognized by the OS and i just had to plug in my pcmcia card, it worked flawlessly. Its a PCMCIA sound card, BTW. This seems not to work on Leo 10.5.2 (Kalyway install). I searched for drivers for this adaptor but i cant find any. Should i use any other driver for another product which has the same chipset? If so, how could i check which chipset is using my Buffalo PCMCIAtoPCI? I couldnt find any info on this either. Thanks a lot and congrats for the forum...its huge!!

Slice Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Your problem may be resolved by using patched IOPCIFamily. Don't forget clear extensions cache else KP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insaneu Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Thank you slice for pointing me to the right direction. I see there´s no nfo or txt in that zip explaining how to install these drivers. As i am very new to the Macos environment i feel quite lost on how to procced. Would you mind telling me which steps should i follow to get a proper installation? Also i see in your sig: PCCard Ricoh 5C475 works with IOPCIFamily.kext 2.4.4 OSX 10.4.6 only. My card shows in windows as: Ricoh R/RL/ET/RC/5C475(II),R5C20 or compatible.... Does this means i will not be able to install it on my 10.5.2? Thanks a lot!

insaneu Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Ok, letme check if i understood right. I should replace my IOPCIFamily.kext at /System/Library/Extensions/ by the one you posted here (patched) then clear extensions caché. How do i clear extensions cache?
