I need some help.
I have a Mac B&W G3 300 mghtz. (Yosemite) which would not work with Panther 10.3. (Some sort of black and white desktop).
But when I upgraded it to 10.3.2, Panther suddenly works! Which is good for me. I'm really enjoying Panther even though it is a little slow on my machine.
But I need more USB slots. I have a keyboard, mouse, scanner, pda craddle, and now a card reader.
Should I buy a hub? Or can I buy a card to go inside my machine? I would rather put a USB card in my machine if possible.
Can I put a USB 2 card in this old Mac? Or should I stick with just regular USB?
I would hate to mess up my Panther but need the expansion.
Thank you for any help and advise you can give me.

I have a B&W G3 400MHz running Panther. I bought a hub rather than put a card in the PCI slots. Later you might want a PCI slot. There are so few in a G3. A hub is less labor too especially if you have any second thoughts about opening your G3. But you should vacuum inside once a year IMO.
