The card worked fine for me. It's got two standard USB type 1 ports. It's PCI. It cost £5 brand new. There isn't really a lot to say about this card. It's very cheap and it's highly compatible.

The card in question here is made by Busby, and while you may think that they would all be pretty much of a muchness, think again, because this one is rather crap! It's a PCI card, so plugs in to the shortish white slots on your motherboard. Installation is easy, simply turn off and open up your PC (using an anti-static wristband is a good idea). Locate a free PCI slot (the white ones) and remove the blanking plate (the bit of metal that covers the slot ... Read the complete review
