I'm looking for a USB 2.0 PCI card for use in my PowerMac (DP 1.25, FW800) and want to add USB 2.0 to the machine, but most PCI cards out there only list Windows compatability, therefore I was wondering if anyone knew if these cards would be compatible with my desktop.

Just for reference, I purchased a Belkin F5U220 which is now sitting happily in a PCI slot and works great.

I have a pretty generic one in my Blue & White. It was only listed as being Windows compatible too, but I figured for $10 I'd take the chance and try it. Works fine. Four USB 2.0 ports and 2 Firewire 400 ports externally and one more each internally (for what, I have no idea).

Well I considered just chucking my USB BlueTooth dongle into the internal.. just get it out the way and free up a USB port on the back of the machine. Other than that I don't see any use for the internal port. smile.gif
