What does "not accept" mean in the real world? You can't get it into a PCI slot? Does it show up in Apple System Profiler? What system version are you using? What card do you have installed now? What do you plan to plug into one? > I have been told an original 2 port Keyspan > card will definately work, but I havent got hold of one yet. > > If this card does not work are there any other ways to add USB to it. > > 1.

It has one or more PCI slots on the motherboard, into which you plug an aftermarket USB card. I don't know of Maplin, so I can't help there. I have a 2-port "D-Link PCI USB Adapter," part no. DSM-500. USB Specification 1.1 compliant. (It will not work with USB 2.0 stuff.) I have my Epson USB printer hooked up to it, so it's working just fine. You must have OS 8.6 or up to use it. > 2.
