I've seen positive reviews about the Belkin board, but I tried adding the 
Belkin board to a 800 MHz Pentium III and could never get it to communicate 
with my Palm USB interface.  Plus I started experiencing computer crashes.  I 
did download the latest drivers from Belkin and called Belkin tech support, 
which was a total waste of time.

After removing the board everything is back to normal.  I'm now using a 
serial port to communicate with my Palm.
