The PCI specification may not be all that useful. A PCI 2.2 specification may only mean that the manufacturer has tested the card in a PCI 2.2 slot; it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work in a 2.1 or 2.0 slot. That said, I've used both a Keyspan USB card and an OrangeMicro Firewire/ USB 2.0 combo card. Both say they're PCI 2.1 compliant; both have worked fine in my PM 7300 (with PCI 2.0 slots). There are rarely ironclad guarantees of hardware compatibility (and for all we know, maybe you just have a defective card). The closest is if the manufacturer specifically says it works with your particular model; barring that, a vendor who'll take it back if it doesn't is always a Good Thing[tm].
