Summary: Make sure your Bios Settings are Correct.
Review: I had been looking for some tome for a way to add usb ports to my computer. I have a Via Apolo 133 chipset motherboard that soposedly is ready to take usb via an adapter sold separetly. The truth is No one Sells the adapter. I doubt it ever existed. This PCI card is the most generaly compatible option for adding usb in any computer with a PCI slot. I installed it myself, and the only thing i had to do was to place the hardware in the slot and re-start my computer about two times before the process was finished. then i pluged in my usb device and it recognized it automatically. the only thing you should be careful with before installation is that the BIOS settings allow for an IRQ address for the USB port. This is important since the USB card won't work otherwise.

Summary: Pretty unbeatable for the price, and works with linux.
Review: I have a pair of older macs here, a 9500 and an 8500. I installed this card in both machines. The card ran in MacOS 9, after using Apple's USB updater, which is available from their support/downloads site (for free of course). I also used this card with very good success in linux (no modules or kernel recompiles necessary in fact). One drawback is the card was not recognized by Mac OS X. However, with these older machines, Linux is a much better choice anyways.

Highly recommended at the price...

Summary: Great Idea for older computers
Review: I love this product. It was very simple to install and use. I was up and running within 5 minutes. It is great for older computers that do not have USB ports or if you just need a few more ports. Now I can use my laptop USB devices on my desktop as well. All this for under twenty dollars... what a deal.

Summary: I only use it for one thing, but hey, It worked.
Review: Mind you, I haven't tried this with 3000 different USB products but I bought it with a Digital camera so I could use the USB port to get my pictures.

I got the card, turned off my computer, and put it into the PCI slot and screwed it in. I turned my computer on, it found and installed the USB card. I plugged in the camera's cord and plugged the cord into the camera. It recognized it and installed it. It's working perfectally.

What more can I say, It works just like any other USB port that I've used and I haven't had any problems with it. So if you need a USB port in your computer because it's old and doesnt have them, this here is your product.

Summary: Works Great!
Review: Not much to say. Plugged it in, computer found it immediately, and Windows 98SE loaded the drivers. Five minutes tops. I now have an old Pentium 1 that is working great with the latest USB devices. I wish everything worked like this, just as advertised!
