I've purchased a few items from Sonnet and found them to be top
notch. Any Mac you put them in...up to and including a G5 will work
perfectly with them (provided you get the updates from Sonnet's
website). I highly recommend them. Though they might cost a bit more.

Hey, G-Listers!
I've recently run into something very odd I thought I let you
folks know about. My lovely wife came home with an unexpected gift
for me a couple of months ago: an iPod Nano. Wow! Needless to say
it's great, but I noticed that one of the system requirements for
it is a Mac with a built-in USB 2.0 card (ironically no such
requirement for Windoze machines. . .). I have access to a couple
of Macs with said cards, but my main machines are a couple of
upgraded B&W's. Obviously these do not have built-in USB 2.0 cards
but have after-market USB 2.0 PCI cards in them. One had an Iogear
card and the other a Sonnet Tango 2.0 USB/FIrewire card. The one
with the Iogear card could "see" the iPod in the System Profiler,
it would not mount. When I plugged the iPod into the one with the
Sonnet, the System Profiler could not only "see" the iPod, but it
mounted and could be used just like the other, more modern Macs. I
swapped the Iogear USB 2.0 card out for another Sonnet Tango 2.0
card I had, and now it works fine. I sent Sonnet an email about
this and they speculated that the Sonnet has a NEC chipset in it
and perhaps the Iogear does not. Apparently, the NEC chipset
allows the iPod to see the card as built-in. Thought you'd like to
know.
