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.

The tech support guy that I mentioned above works for a mailorder 
Mac store, not XLR8.

Sorry if I implied that the DualPort USB PCI card is flaky.  Fact of 
the matter is, I bought one from the aforementioned mailorder Mac 
store yesterday.  It's on its way via Airborne 2nd Day Delivery, and 
so is an IceView hub.  If you own an XLR8 product or are thinking 
about buying one, I recommend XLR8's Online Support Center.
