Which USB card should I buy for my Power Mac 7300? I only checked the XLR8 dual-port USB card but I don't know anything about it. Any suggestions???

well, i bought a generic usb card off of ebay and it worked quite well (it was for my 7200). It only needed apple's usb drivers to work. Only had problems when i upgraded to OS9.1 and couldn't hotsync anymore---my wacom tablet still worked though.

then i got a tiBook, so i didn't care anymore...

I figure they all probably work about the same, so just shop for a good deal.

I got one from Belkin for less than $30.00 to my front door in 2 days and it has a Lifetime Guarantee. My puter is also a 7300. Works great. The choice is up to you.

Is this weird or what?. First let me say thank you Griz for your advice. Now to freak you let me tell you that I just got back from CompUSA, I bought the same card you said but without having read your post... It works perfect... all I had to do was download the support extension from apple.com. It wold be really nice if you could post also the peripherals you are using with this card just to what it is compatible to... Thanks telepathic friend...
