Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good Legacy Device for Legacy Powermacs
This is a good legacy device for older PCI Powermacs such as the Performa series or the Beige G3. It offers both USB 1.1 and FireWire 400 on one card. Since most first generation PCI Macintoshs can't run OS X, they don't support USB 2.0 speeds, therefore this device will be just fine for these particular models. I use the Orange Micro OrangeLink Firewire/USB PCI Board in my Powermac 6500.
If one uses MacOS 9.1 or higher, the USB and FireWire extensions should be installed by default, ... Read More
Rating:  - Decent Hardware with a warning
I really like the card giving me extra USB and firewire ports however it seems OrangeMicro may be out of bus. So future support for these cards could be limited.. Just a word of warning.
Rating:  - Not USB2!
Make sure you note that this is a USB and not a USB2 card. If that's what you're looking for, you're in good shape.
Rating: - Works Perfectly Fine
I haven't had a single problem with this card; I am using it under Mac OS 9.1 right now, and plan on upgrading to OS X when the final release happens in March. The software included has caused me no problems and the card works fine for everything I have used it for. I currently have a printer hooked up to it (HP DeskJet) through USB, as well as a Gravis GamePad, and I have used the Firewire interface with a Canon DV Camcorder. All work fine.
Rating:  - Dangerous and flakey under Windows 2000
This product is dangerous and flakey under several instances of Windows 2000 and on different machines. The card is virtually unsupported, current drivers for Windows 2000 Professional are unavailable, there's not even an old version available for download.
