64-bit PCI USB 2.0 card?
I'm guessing this is the right place to put this...
I acquired a Power Mac G4 from a thrift store and have done a lot of updates to it. One thing that still needs updating are the USB ports. I am pretty sure that it uses spec 1.1, and I am wondering if there is a USB 2.0 card out there that can use the 64-bit PCI card slots that are in the machine.
Get out of my mind, idea! I already have anonther idea in my head that I am working on!

A 32-bit PCI card fits in a 64-bit slot just fine. Any old card'll work.

Re: 64-bit PCI USB 2.0 card?
I know that (I installed a USB 1.1 card and a wireless card into an UltraSparc E250. It has four 64-bit PCI cards, one on a different PCI bus.), I'm just curious to know if there is a USB 2.0 64-bit PCI card.
I did do some searching, and there is a 64-bit PCI card that has USB 2.0 as well as FireWire 800.
