Nixvue DA Lite & USB 2

Just gotten the DA Lite (installed it with my old 30GB HDD), and a CardBus USB 2.0 card today.
The DA Lite unit (installed it with my old 30GB HDD), the noname USB 2.0 CardBus card.
How it looks like on my PowerBook. The card came with 2 x USB 2 ports and AC passthru (1 USB cable, 1 AC pass thru USB cable), I updated the firmware to the latest 1.05:
The AC passthru cable is useful as it's needed to power my Sarotech Combo USB2/FW drive.
No driver were needed in Mac OS X 10.3 for the card:
The card did come with drivers for older Mac OS X as well.
Hope this should be enough for me.
BTW, like USB 1, although USB 2 is faster but it does slow the CPU down during the transfer... remember USB1/2 requires CPU interrupt for every I/O.
Still prefer Firewire.... much faster in real life.
