Better saying: in Mac OS X, there's drivers for both EHCI and OHCI cards,
but classic Mac OS jsut recognizes the OHCI.

To distiguish between EHCI and OHCI:

All EHCI cards are based on a VIA central chip.

All other brands are OHCI.

So, generally talking, pick up any non-VIA USB card and you'll be OK in Mac
OS 8/9 and Mac OS X.
