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.
