OS X will support a card or IO chip as long as that chip set is already supported by a driver. For example, if you plug in a SCSI card with the Symbios 53c875, the OS X driver will find it. Plug in another of the same card, and another instance of the driver will be launched (instantiated) at startup.

I presume the $15 USB card just has the same chipset that's already been supported by OS X. Probably the same chip that's on one of the supported motherboards

So how does one determine the chipset of a USB card before buying it?
