Successful ADS USB 2.0 PCI Card [Posted on 2007-12-21]
Card installed and ran with no major hiccups within minutes of signing for it. Purchased card for iPod and it runs great. I don't know if there is an issue with the computer not sleeping with something plugged into it, can't say that I have put it in such a situation. I also do not use it to plug in a mouse or keyboard, only peripherals. Mac 10.4.11 2x800mhz G4.

USB 2 add-on [Posted on 2007-12-26]
I put this card into my 2001 G4 quicksilver, largely to accomodate my daughter's new iPod touch.
It dropped right in, I did install some tiny bit of software from the Cd just to be thorough.
It works perfectly. The iPod liked it, the cameras like it, it is a very worthy item to install in a computer that is pre-USB 2.
I already had the D-Link hub and that plugged right in and works just great with it too.
All in all, this is well worth the 20-25 bones just to plug in the iPod. A very good deal.

Meh [Posted on 2008-01-25]
I added this product to a Dell running Windows 2000. The CD was supposed to automatically popup with a screen to install the necessary drivers, but it did not. I couldn't even figure out how to get the automated driver install to work at all. I manually installed the drivers off of the CD. The device works, but not at USB 2.0 speeds. My camera and MP3 player, the two USB2 devices that led me to get this, run at slow speeds. It does seem to have sped up my WiFi (I have a USB WiFi adapter), but not to USB 2.0 speeds. Basically, I got some additional USB1 ports with slightly faster internet.

Great upgrade from USB 1 [Posted on 2008-02-16]
This is a great card. My old G4 Mac only had USB 1. What a speed difference. I love having the four USB 2 ports. I needed more so I got a USB 2 hub which hasn't seemed to affect the speed any. I can use multiple devices without any problems (ie: iPod and scanner at the same time). I don't know what use the internal USB port is, but I'm sure there must be some use for it.

ADS USB 2.0 upgrade [Posted on 2008-04-09]
Very straight forward to install and use. No surprises but a tight fit in the PCI slot requires a little more force that one would normally expect.
