Have you updated the firmware of your G4/AGP to 4.2.8 ?? Goto: <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120068> for information and download. In this article (from Sept. 10, 2003) Apple is not speaking about PCI-USB 2.0 cards. But my experience is following: In my QS/800/'02 (running 9.2.2 and 10.4.11) and my MDD/1,42DP (running 10.4.11 and 10.5.8) I have a cheap (Euro 8 = US$ 11,66) 4 port PCI-USB 2.0 card and it was plug in and go. The same card in my Sawtooth/400 (9.2.2, 10.3.9 and 10.4.11) and in my DA/466 (9.2.2 and 10.4.11) refused to work untill the firmware update 4.2.8. Would say: Give it a try! But don't forget: The FW Update will only work when booted in 9.1 <-> 9.2.2 on a intern HD.
