Topic: Compatible USB Cards

[jfentum]

I was hoping that there is a PCI-based USB 2.0 Card that's compatible with SME 6.5 RC1.

Anyone out there using an add-on PCI card for USB?  If so, please let me know what is working.

I'd like to grab one off the shelf, pop it in, and start attaching USB hard drives for back-ups.

I know I could get a new motherboard that supports USB if there aren't any cards available.

BTW, wasn't there a hardware compatibility site for SME?  Is it still the Redhat site?

I installed a USB card with an NEC chipset on an SME 6.01 box.  The card was detected on boot up and works fine with my external hard drives.  I think the controller chipset is more important than the actual brand of the card.
