This is interesting. Sonnet must have included this feature as part
of their OSX compatibility solution. It is in their best interest to
maintain as much compatibility as possible.
It is also possible that, since the OSX enabling software I use
maintains USB usage without specifically enabling it, OSX itself may
not require anything to enable the use of USB on a PCI Mac. How else
would unsupported hardware work without modifying the system? The
ATA66 also works.
It's an interesting question. It might just be worth a try.
