Fyi; I got myself one of those USB/Firewire Combo-cards awhile
ago. As it happened, my Gossamer was steamed up & ready in OSX
(10.3.X, have recently allowed all sorts of upgrades suggested
form apple w/o trouble). And of course a flash-stick worked
perfectly in X. Plug & play. Later re-booted the same machine in
OS 9.2.2. And then the stick never showed up at all.
There's a trick to using the combo USB cards.
USB and Firewire cards need to be present during the install of OS 9
for the drivers to be installed.
The USB drivers in USB support 1.4.1 are for OS 8.6 and lower. You
should be able to do a custom install of just USB and Firewire
support from your system CD, or re-apply the 9.22 Combo update.
Doing a custom install from the CD doesn't even require the hardware,
since I've done that to get the OS 9 version of iMovie to work on
systems without a firewire port. (If the FW support library isn't
there, iMovie bails on an error right after starting up)
This is all that was needed for the combo card I got from OWC.
