Been using a SIIG 2-port USB interface card for a month now in my 7600/180
(still a 604e, as far as that goes), with a cheapo USB digital camera
(Cool iCam), no problems so far.
The box that the card came in says "Fully compliant with USB
Specification, Revision 1.1" & "Conforms with PCI Specification, Version
2.2", as well as saying it's OHCI-compliant & requires with Mac OS 8.6 or
later & Windows 98 or later.
I guess the terms of art here are "compliant" & "conforms" (rather than
"requires").
