I found some USB2 ports that connect via PC Cardbus
adapters at Fry's Electronics.  Examples include:

OrangeUSB 2.0 by Orange Micro Inc (4 ports)
USBconnect for Notebooks by Adaptec (2 ports)

Does anyone know if these work on NetBSD?  "USB Open
Host Controller (ohci)" is listed under PC Cardbus in
Hardware Compatibility at netbsd.org; but I couldn't
find specific examples or references to USB2.

If these adapters are compatible, I would imagine that
a lot of hardware would become much more useful!

Thanks,

Andrew Gould
