I use Win 2000.

You  will definitely want a USB 2.0 card. It is cheap ($10 to $15). 
Mine has a connection that runs tot he USB 1.0 port for the DC power. 
You could also use a powered USB hub. One advantage of the hub us you 
could use a longer cable.

Tiger Direct http://www.tigerdirect.com/ has the cards or even Fry's 
electronics.
