I beg to differ. I used a USB 2.0 Card under a G3-powered PowerMac 9500 under OS X and the USB card worked just fine. From what I can tell, USB 2.0 Cards will work in original pentium systems which uses the old PCI slot/specs and they will work in that (like say pentium 100Mhz running Windows 2k Pro with 64MB/128MB RAM). I believed it is mostly driver issues rather than PCI Specs. I have even used the cards in a PowerMac 7500/G3 with a Radeon 7000 PCI and a USB 2.0 Card, and that was what? the first PCI power mac?

CC was talking about the PCI 1.1 spec, not USB 1.1. This pertains to which cards can run in which machines.
