Well it's been a couple of weeks now and I have been busy and frustrated trying to add USB to my 7500. I have upgraded to 8.6 and downloaded the spockets and usb files from the Apple support site. The card I am trying to use is a Belkin 2-port that claims to work with Mac OS 8.6 and up. I have tried varios usb devices: camera, tablet, mouse and card reader. The software loads fine but no data from the card transfers or no action on the wacom tablet. The card shows up on the system profiler as a pci card but no other info is recognized.
I had the same problem with a Belkin two port USB card.
I bought another card, this time from a gentleman here on the list and it works perfectly.
As I recall, MacAlly and Orange cards have been mentioned favorably here.
Make sure that the card is OHCI compliant before you buy it.
And after you get a working card, go and download USB Overdrive <http://www.usboverdrive.com> and pick up a multibutton/scrollwheel mouse.
