Well, I think it is not *exactly* that way...;-)
The most important thing to remember is that non-VIA USB 2.0 PCI
cards (like
the NEC I am using here) will do work on Mac OS 9, because these
cards are
backward-compatible. Obviously there is no support for high-speed data
transfers under OS 9, but the card and the ports will work normally
as USB
1.1.
And AFAIK, non-VIA FireWire-USB combo cards are compatible Mac OS 9,
too.
That's great to know. I only have experience with the VIA Combo card
that isn't backwards compatible to OS 9, and also isn't very good in
OS X. I wouldn't recommend a VIA card, but it kinda works ok if you
have the additional software. I've heard the Adaptec combo card is
good, but I've never used one.
