I doubt that USB 1.1 would be able to keep up when trying to burn a  
CD or DVD. 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.
