Well, you have compensating advantages, surely! :)

I mentioned retail availability purely since it's a sort of milestone,
and so that folk would know that these are safe to buy if they
happen to notice them for purchase.

Basically, any PCI card now sold as supporting "high speed USB"
(with the red/blue logo) is going to have a NEC chip with a recent
stepping, and so should behave well.  At least, so far as I know.

The current problem with USB 2.0 testing is getting high speed
devices.  Rare is the word; I've seen none in stores, and few
announcements.  I'd be looking for high speed usb disks to
appear before long ... those are products that will benefit a lot
from higher speed, once there's more OS support for EHCI.
Unfortunatenly MSFT probably controls those floodgates.
