It is possible. You need to purchase a PCI-USB card that is either listed as Mac compatible or listed as OHCI compliant. Stick with a 2 port card. Then D/L "USB Adapter Card Support" from Apple and install it. I will let you know that USB and OS 8.1 were not the most stable combination. With OS 8.6 and USB 1.4.1 Apple 'got it right' and my Mac ran and never crashed for no reason with that combination.
