USB Cards
You can purchase add on cards that will allow you to add one or more usb ports onto your computer. They are simple to install. There are many different types of devices that you can connect to a USB port. Printers, Scanners, Fax Machines, Memory Sticks, Digital Camera, and just about any external component made will be compatible with a USB Card. We recommend the Adaptec USB 2.0/1394 Combo Card PCI 3-Port USB 2.0 & 2-Port Firewire MAC/PC (1923200). It adds USB 2.0 ports, as well as Firewire ports, in one add on card.
Product Description
From the Manufacturer
At 400 megabits per second, the FireWire/1394/i.LINK standard is ideal for multi- media input devices such as digital video (DV) camcorders, and high-speed storage devices, scanners, and CD-RW drives. In fact, you can "daisy chain" up to 62 peripherals from the two external FireWire ports on your DuoConnect card.
USB 2.0 combines high-speed performance with the plug-and-play simplicity that has made USB peripherals so popular. USB 2.0 products include external hard drives, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs, and scanners can run at up to 480 Mbps. That's 40 times faster than USB 1.1 peripherals!
DuoConnect's three external ports provide maximum compatibility and connectivity to the newest USB 2.0 devices as well as USB 1.1 devices.
