You can buy a name brand PCI USB2 card for around $30.00, which will give
you four USB2 Ports, and Windows 98se Support / drivers. USB 1 = 12 M/bits
per second while USB2 = 480 M/bits per second. Orange Micro makes a card
that nearly runs at native/motherboard speeds. Much faster then Belkin or
Adaptec, and speed is very important in this use.
