I'm using an Orange Micro USB/Firewire drive with a logitech cordless wheel mouse on a PTP 225. It's not optical, but sure is nice not having that cord around. The PCI card has 2 ports each for firewire and usb. I plug a camcorder into the Firewire, and it wasn't long before I had to get a USB hub for my Handspring, digital camera, mouse and scanner. The hub (the cheapest Belkin 4 port I could find) doesn't deliver enough power, so the scanner is plugged directly into the card, but the only problems I seem to have is when the cord gets loose. The card was about $120 and came with Premeire LE. There's a newer model now - I'm not sure if any software is included.
