Yes, but you'll need a PCI card. I have an IOGEAR FireWire/USB 2 card in my B&W and installing it (and not using the built-in ports) resolved all my hardware problems with OS X.

Be aware that the USB 2.0 specification supports "High Speed" 480 Mbs, as well as original 12 Mbs and 1.5 Mbs devices. It's supposed to be backward compatible, so a High Speed device should work at lower speeds. Devices that call themselves USB 2.0 are (probably) all High Speed, but the manufacturer could label a 12 Mbs device as 2.0 and be literally truthful.

The G5s will have USB 2.0 High Speed ports built-in and they will run Jaguar. A 2.0 interface can be added to PowerBooks with PC(MCIA) card slots.

My question is: Can Jaguar / B&W Revision2 motherboard support USB2.0?

Secondarily, are there USB devices requiring USB 2.0, that work with Mac hardware?
