Hello,

The USB 2.0 card that came with my PowerMac G4 (Dual 1.25) does not have manufacturers marks on it.

The chipset is an OPTi FineLink 82C861. I believe that it worked straight away and did not require any drivers. The OS I was running was Mac OS 10.4.11.

I've had a look online and some listings for USB PCI cards do suggest that they work with older versions of Mac OS. These may be worth a try.

Here is a photograph of the card:
