A:AnswerI have this plugged into my 2007 white MacBook running solely Linux Mint and have no issues with it. Linux just throws an external burner/reader driver at it.
A:AnswerSounds like you have old devices that have advanced since you bought them. USBs have changed and are faster. If you google this problem I'm sure it will pull up connectors that will fit. I'd look in the Specs and see if your device was compatible with this device as that's why you would look at the specifications. It will list which devices are compatible and will fit.
