The question is whether generic PC USB PCI cards will work on a Mac -
I had been told they'd have to have the right firmware? If we could
get one of these to work at that sort of cost that would be great.
:-)
Anyone tried this?

I've seen generic IDE USB cards for as little as $25 at places like
Tang and Austin, heck the last USB2 card I got was only $40
Does anyone have a nice cheap new or second-hand PCI USB card for
an old Beige G3 that they'd like to sell?
We'd only need USB v1.1.
However, if it was a combo Firewire/USB card and didn't cost too
much more, we'd be interested.
Being such an old Mac we really don't want to spend too much on it!
Thanks gang
