I need to put a USB 2.0 card in a B&W G3 (upgraded to a G4) for my iPod video. I have seen Belkin has one that claims OS X compatibility, but will any USB 2 PCI card do? I have never seen a Belkin PCI card in Ontario.
I assume the drivers are built in to X.
I usually buy stuff from Tigerdirect.ca. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

LaCie has a good one, for about $30 CDN.

I know Carbon Computing sells these, and I didn't see them on Tiger Direct. LaCie says only Windows, but I would imagine OS X just works.

Also, IOGEAR makes two (Good experiences with their products):

and the Belkin one:

Thanks.

I see that the Iogear 2 port card is available at Best Buy. I'll save some shipping and grab one.
