Looking for a USB 2.0 PCI card for a Powermac G4. This will be used under Tiger.
Number of ports isn't a big factor...just looking to get the USB 2 speeds.
I would prefer one that has the 1 internal port though.
Let me know, I can pay with PayPal.

Why don't you look on ebay. I bought a USB 2.0 PCI Card w/ 4 external ports and 2 internal ports for .99 cents(It was actually like $11 with shipping) last year and it works great. I have had absolutely no problems with it, I haven't even had any sleep problems like most people seem to have with PCI cards. When I was reading the description of the card it only listed support for windows, it doesn't mention any mac support even though it does work on my QuickSilver G4. I didn't even need any drivers for it. Heres a link to the same card I bought if your interested:http://cgi.ebay.com/Hi-Speed-6-PORT-USB-2-0-PCI-HOST-CONTROLLER-CARD-c01_W0QQitemZ5871591890QQcategoryZ44933QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Thanks for the link! I might just buy that, but I'm going to look in the store first.
I looked on ebay, but I didn't really want to just buy any old one and see if it worked or not. :(
Figured by posting on here I could get a used one that someone's been using and was sure it worked under Tiger.

The USB 2.0 PCI card from the link does work under Mac OS X Tiger. Infact if your running tiger you don't need any drivers for it since tiger already has default drivers for such cards.
