[SOLVED] 4-Port USB 3.0 PCI Express Card for Mac Pro, any drivers?

[mixnight]

Hi all, I have a Mac Pro tower 2010, I installed the 4-Port USB 3.0 PCI Express Card but it does not show any external drive/usb pen drives when plugged into the card, only it powers the devices, I searched on internet for any Mac Drivers but I can't find any.

Is there a Mac Driver for 4-Port USB 3.0 PCI Express Card? Can you tell me where I can download the Mac Driver?

Thank you.

What model of card? What chipset does it have? You'll want to bring up system information for this.

I have to say I am not much of a Intel Mac expert, haven't seriously messed with that stuff since the Power PC days, but with a chipset we can go to the manufacturer's website and see if they have drivers. Though I would expect the company the marketed it to also have a website to get drivers from.

The card is an a Rosewill 4-Port USB 3.0 PCI Express Card model RC-508, chipset: Renesas uPD720201, run-in High Sierra on a 2010 Mac Pro tower.

Well, I don't believe that card is supported by Mac, however, there does seem to be a group of people out there who might be able to make it compatible. I suggest posting here:

Seems like you can flash your card to pretend to be from a brand that is supported, and then install their driver.
