Get a USB 2.0 card, they're cheap - $10-$50 depending on name brand, etc. Make sure it's Mac compatible and/or returnable, last thing I knew one common chipset was compatible and the other wasn't. Don't know if that has changed with Tiger or not.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Phil</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV></BODY></HTML>
