Well, according to the specs on the card it is 100% backwards compatible
with USB 1.1 and that's what I'm using with the USB hub that I'm running
now.  The PCI card does show up in Device Manager.  According to the
documentation that came with the card the minimum requirements for the
card are:

    - Pentium or K6 class processor (266Mhz or higher)
    - Windows 98 Second Edition or later
    - 64MB of RAM
    - Available PCI slot

I have 512MB of RAM, my system is 800MHz, I'm running WinME, and I had
an available PCI slot.  As best I can tell, my system well exceeds the
minimum requirements for using the card.
