Hi. i bougt an Terratch EyeTV for DTT, to se digital tv.
i have an old G3 (350 Mhz, 512 Ram) that i migth use to record programs, on, and store the programs on it's external harddrive.
I would then use my xbox, to see the stored programs over the lan. (using windows sharing)
But for this to work, i need to have usb 2 on my G3 so i can use the DTT device.
(i have a friend who has got a similar g3 but with usb2 inserted, and is able to record programs on it, but the viewing is not possible, or is very unzippy)
The question is:
can i buy any usb 2 chip (with power) and insert it, or must i buy some "mac compatible" that seems to be more expensive.
i have OS X Tiger on the machine.

Hello there, I bought a PCI USB2 card, the brand is 'Mentor', box says it is Mac OS X compatible, running Tiger 10.4.5, I did not need to install drivers… just plug & play and you are done. It has six ports, four external and two being internal. It is attached to a Blue & White G3 350 MHz Power Mac, aimed to get speedy connectivity with an iPod Video. I am also located in Europe, so I guess you could find it in some online store… a friend found it for me, I think that was on some eBay Power Seller…

Pretty much any USB2 card based on the NEC chipset will work with Tiger. Just go to your local PC store and have a look at the cards. Or phone around. You will probably save 20USD than if you buy a 'mac' card.

do you have other USB 1 devices also plugged into this card?
It maybe that all the ports on the card are run from one USB pipe, and will only then run as fast as the slowest device connected.
is the EyeTV only thing connected?
