[G4] Beige G3's and USB

[Jay Snoke]

I have an old Beige G3 that I upgraded to a G4 a while back. I put an Orange
Micro USB/Firewire card into it at the time, and I have no complaints...
But then, it doesn't get used for much...  It runs OS 10.2.7 (it just won't
upgrade to 10.2.8 for some reason...)
