Yeah, I have a USB2 card here in my PowerMac thats all black and

Yes, and I now remember WHY that is. The Beige Macs had an earlier
implementation of the PCI bus, and when USB 2.0 came along everyone
had moved onto a newer PCI bus standard. The B&W was the 1st Mac to
get the newer PCI bus, and this is why some cards work in the B&W
and newer Macs but fail in the Beige and earlier. There is no
solution.
That would not explain it though as the card works fine in OSX on the
beige mac ;)
