I have an Orange Micro USB/FireWire combo card in my 7300 (it was originally a 7300/200 but now has a 400MHz G3 CPU) running Mac OS 8.6 with the appropriate USB and FireWire support modules downloaded and installed. The USB portion of the card is 2.0 but is also backwards compliant with USB 1.1--which is all Mac OS supports.
I use both the USB and FireWire ports without problems. My only complaint, as such, is that the FireWire bus doesn't show up in Apple System Profiler (the USB bus shows up just fine and FireWire peripherals work fine--at least those that I've tried). But this is undoubtably a ASP/Mac OS issue and not a problem with the card, per se. In my experience, getting USB devices to show up in ASP is 95% of the battle. Once the system detects and recognizes the device, it usually seems to work (as long as the proper drivers are installed). If you're seeing the USB devices in the System Profiler then I suspect the problem is not with the card. You might try reinstalling the drivers or the USB support module or both. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
