One of the ones I tried was a non-Mac card ( unsure now as it is in my DA and I can't remember the brand - all I remember is that it has the Via chipset ) which works like a charm except for a sleep issue. Others I have fitted include the Belkin below which listed as Mac compatible and works 100% OK.
Here is a list that I have uploaded before that I shamelessly ripped off from MacOSXHints Quote/ To get optimal results from a USB 2.0 PCI card to run in a Mac, get a card that has the NEC chipset. Via and Ali chipsets are problematic - mostly sleep related issues, and should be avoided. Some USB 2.0 cards that have the NEC chipset are: Adaptec 3100LP BAFO BF-460 Belkin F5U220 GWC UC-160 IOGear GIC250U IOGear GIC251U Keyspan U2PCI-5 O'toLink U2-C2B O'toLink U2-C2A O'toLink U2-P20N O'toLink U2-P50 Ratoc PCIU5 USBWholesale UII-PCIP Quote\ With the fan, try here for an adapter. http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=608 Here is also a guide to the Molex power plug.
