USB1/FireWire cards usually work. I haven't found a USB2 card that works in the Pre-G3 PCI models. G3 Macs have PCI 2.1 compliant slots. The earlier models are only 2.0 compliant. All the USB2 cards I've found need PCI 2.1 compliant slots. You need a USB1/FW card. John -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
