USB 1.1 is really slow doing anything. I can use 2.0 cards on the PB's even the G3 Wally's but stuck on the G4 Cubes. Anyway Firewire is the way to go if you can. Some of the ADS's will only boot with a USB 2.0 on the Intel's. All of the machines I mentioned will also boot on a USB stick (thumb drive) except the PM G5 Dual 2.7, G3 non native USB PB's and a G4 Mac Mini.
