Old Mac with USB 1 and iPod?

[karavite]

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks Texas Mac Man for the excellent recommendations and information on the NEC chipset cards (I bought the IOgear just now online). I have a Mac G4 DP 1 GHZ that is the workhorse in the house and has over a terrabyte of storage. I have used it for transferring family movies (8 and super 8 mm) to digital and the new USB 2.0 card will be handy for a new scanner as well (to archive photos). I have a new Mac Book for work and I would rather use the home machine for all my iTunes files and with the iPod.

I tried a PCI USB 2 card in my G4 Quicksilver 933. Never got it to work.

Got the IOgear and it works great in my old G4 DP 1 GHZ.. Others may work fine, but here is one you can bank on. Thanks Texas Mac Man!
