A "combo" card would have to be placed on either slot 1 or 2 on a S900 to work properly. Support for USB 2 doesn't come into play until either Jaguar or Panther, so a "2" card under OS9 would function as a USB 1. Whether there are compatability issues with using PC based cards would depend on whether drivers are required for the card to function, and whether it is manufactured to meet the CHRP standard. This could be a "buyer beware" situation unless you have specific guarantees on compatability. Paul C.

I've been looking at eBay for adding a Firewire USB combo card to my s900.

I already have a usb pci card in the s900. It works OK. I've been looking on the PC side of eBay and these things are cheap. Should I go with a 1.1 or a 2.0? I'm running system 9.2 whatever.

I also have been considering getting just a 2.0 card for my digital G4. The G4 runs 10.39. These cards are very cheap.

Its my understanding that the MacOS after 9.0 supports these things. Any ideas?
