Re: USB 2.0 Card for MDD G4
An option that no one has yet mentioned but one of those you get what you pay for products. 7-Port NitroAV FireWire 800/1394b USB2.0/1/1 ComboProfessional PCI Host Adapter Interface supporting 32-Bit 64-Bit Bus Systems (Mac/WIN)http://www.firewiredirect.com/product/57/ I have been using the above product, which when I researched and bought it three (or more) years ago was unique and it looks as if it still is - I've hung various external hard drives upto 2TB raid array off it and used it for elgato EyeTV (which has been a productivity killer :-) With some drives it has presented sleep issues to the system but I don't believe that was the card’s fault. Pricey compared with single function cards but in my Sonnet Duet 1.8Ghz upgraded Quicksilver has been a very good extension.

Re: USB 2.0 Card for MDD G4
You can't go wrong with Sonnet. My G4s have an Adaptec card, only 2 ports, but that's all I really need at high speed. They were just $10 if I remember correctly.

Re: USB 2.0 Card for MDD G4
Thanks to those who replied to my request for advice as to which card to purchase. I've ordered the cheaper no-name card from Operator HeadGap and will have a full report on it once it is received and installed. I was tempted to go with the Sonnet Allegro, as I have a Sonnet G4 processor upgrade in my Beige G3 and it has given me no trouble, and the price difference was negligible. But we'll see how this one works.
