USB Cards PCI cardfor PCI Macs

These cards let you add USB ports to PCI Power Macs and clones. Specifications are virtually identical: two USB ports, 500 mA power to each port, requires PCI Mac or clone with Mac OS 8.1 or later (8.6 or later recommended for best USB support).

All cards ship with Mac drivers or work with Apple's drivers. In cases where the card doesn't claim Mac compatibility, I am relying on feedback from Mac owners who have installed and use the cards.
