I assumed at the time that any card would do, but when I started hitting all these problems I did some reading around and found a lot of talk about Via chipsets being troublesome. …

I have had success with NEC-based USB2 cards. But as others have mentioned they only work at USB2 speeds in MacOS X 10.2.8+. The only exception I have had to a working NEC-based …

My only experience with a USB2 card upgrade was in a PM G4. The only one that could be picked up off-the-shelf was a generic PC one with a Via chip. Turned out to be useless. It wa…

Doesn't it have clips on the under-side of the board? (All of the 5x00/6x00 machines I've had do).

No OS X? How can you stand it?! At LEAST upgrade to Panther!

From personal experience, a Sonnet Tempo SATA card will boot just great to OS 9 or any version of OS X.
