I'm not 100% sure on either issue. However, your Macs (most likely) already
have USB 1.x ports; so daisy-chain your 1.x devices off the internal ports and
the 2.0 devices off the PCI card to be safe.
Keep in mind that there are very few (if any!) USB 2.0 devices; but they will
give you IEEE-1394 ("FireWire" brand) speeds when available. To put it in a
nutshell, USB 2.0 is Intel's answer to Apple's exhorbitant 1394 licensing
fees...
I don't have an answer about the drivers: Some USB chipsets are directly
supported by the MacOS kernel; while others require a patch (Extension) to
work.
Cheers!
Dan
