steve 4/29/2013 5:54:28 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Does its job Pros: Price Cons: Internal port angle, no BIOS support, Can't get into BIOS with a USB keyboard. KB only works in Windows. Other Thoughts: My 2yr old computer lost ALL USB ports for some strange reason (tried every fix in the book). Figured I would give this cheap card a try. It works! I've loaded it with a mouse, kb, webcam, and wifi adapter. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 1/22/2013 6:23:23 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Cheap and practical Pros: Adds lots of extra USB ports, love the inner port, small design that allow air flow around other cards Cons: None Other Thoughts: Big bang for your buck Did you find this review helpful?

N/A 12/5/2012 10:26:46 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Don't lose the disc it comes with! Pros: Works perfectly so far, no problems with any USB devices I have tried through this card. Personally I always prefer to add a card than to use a USB hub, but again, that is personal preference. So this meets my needs/desires well! Cons: Not so easy to find driver software if you don't have the disc it comes with. Not much in the way of identifying marks to find which thing to download. I almost want to tape the CD envelope to the card to guarantee it is never misplaced. Not such a negative tho. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Mike 12/2/2012 1:11:34 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5really good. Pros: I opened the case. Put the board in a PCI slot. And turned on the computer. Easy. No drivers to load. The computer recognized the USB ports. I plugged a webcam into one of the new ports. Everything works great. I don't know how they can make a PCI card for this price. Cons: None.

After installing it the mobo failed to start. After I removed it, it booted just fine. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
SegaGT 7/7/2012 6:40:36 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Classic G4 Compatibility Pros: Card works in Classic G4 Macs. I personally Tested on Sawtooth under OS9, 10.2, Quicksilver, and MDD models under 10.4, and 10.5. The angled board allows for better airflow and internal port can be used for an internal bay card reader mod etc. Cons: USB cards have been know to cause sleep/resume/wake issues with or without a USB drive in an available port although most agree NEC chipset is usable on these, don't expect full 2.0 speeds on the older OS's but 10.4 on up performed well in my tests. Other Thoughts: These give you the ability to connect slightly newer technology to these decade old machines. I wanted to use a SDHC USB reader and these cards work well for those tasks. Don't spend too much keeping a G4 going, but a souped up G4 can still keep up with a Vista era entry level PC and blow the doors off of a netbook, but thats not saying much!

Roomba 5/15/2012 11:25:52 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great buy for cheap USB addition Pros: Good number of slots for external addition. I was able to use the internal one on a front card reader and free up another USB slot on the back. Cons: None Other Thoughts: Newegg continues to deliver. Did you find this review helpful?
