All's well that ends well, and it works, but that vendor is off my list as a source of components. (I was given the machine the card is in. I didn't buy it.)

If you don't mind my asking, what card was that, so I know to avoid it?

I have an old lappy with USB1.1 native and was looking at just such an upgrade in an attempt to squeeze that last bit of usefulness out of it.
