Nubus card w/ USB, or firewire

Is there such a beast, I have a 7100/66 that I’m thinking about upgrading to a G3 with the Sonett Card. I would also like to have USB or Firewire on it.

There is a slot that looks like a pci slot that the Video card is in, which is different from the Nubus. Anyone no what kind of slot that is?

That is the PDS - Processor Direct Slot, reserved mainly for the optional High Performance Video card that boasted upgradability to a whopping 2 MB

It is now used for processor upgrades that include an adapter to continue using said card by "borrowing" a Nubus slot for position only.

As far as the USB/FW, good luck. I just scored an AsanteFast 10/100BT Nubus NIC for $35 ($180 new) and was surprised that even existed.
