Before you get too deep in with an "older" Pentium board,
possibly with Intel chipsets, take some read-time at: 

www.usbman.com/

Good info on USB with older Intel chips, namely, forget it!   :-((

Now, if you have a slot available, USB 2.0 add-in boards are selling at
around $16.  I know not about their compatibility with older boards though,
simply have not done the homework yet.  Such a board would ONLY be of
interest to me if it was backwards compatible with my existing USB 1.0
equipment. 


     Good luck...  M.
