I have an XLR8 usb pci card in my 7600/132 (beefed up with a G3 300MHz 
card), 160M ram, etc. I run a Canon 1220u scanner/epson 880 printer/epson
digital camera and a zip drive (all usb) through a Belkin powered hub and
the pci card itself. Everything has worked flawlessly. As a matter of fact,
it worked so well I bought a similar setup for the office too. That too,
works and runs like a raped ape.

Get the card.
