I have both USB and Firewire PCI cards in my Power Tower and both run 
fine. One oddity I did notice with the USB card and 9.1 was that it 
would not work until I downloaded the Apple's latest USB card adapter. 
(1.4 I think ?)

I'm using a Granite Digital  1394 Firewire to PCI host adapter. Their 
item number 4546. It runs fine with 9.1 and higher. Don't know about 
9.0.4, I never used it. Been very trouble free and has and runs 380-400 
Mb transfer speeds. It's worked with everything I have plugged into it.

This one does. I don't know what the differences are between the Power 
base and Power Tower? The Granite Digital is a little spendier than some 
firewire cards, but it was highly recommended by a friend at Apple, and 
it lived up to it's advertising.
