I used one a while ago that you would plug into your USB port for the extra
power.  So, you'd plug the power into an existing USB 1 slot, and then this
card into the PCMCIA slot to get 2.0 ports.  IIRC, it had 4 2.0 ports.  At
that time, I had a laptop that had only 1 ports, and had a pile of data to
copy to an external device that supported 2.0.  2.0 worked MUCH better.
