USB cards - Opti chip set

I am now on the shopping spree for a USB - PCI card. One of the cheaper
options is a Trust USB 1.1 card using an Opti chipset. I heard the bad
stories about VIA, and ALi chip sets. Any experiences on this one
anybody?

I used an entrega Opti chip USB 1.1 card in my VIA chip fic mainboard and
disabled the VIA onboard USB and bingo - after weeks of frustration - no
more USB problems!

OPTI is one of the chip sets recommended on the very useful USBMAN man web
site. I've since changed to an NEC chip USB 2.0 card and that is working
well too (but much, much faster!).
