It is a generic looking card - simply says "USB 2 Cardbus" with no model number. The packaging says it supports Windows with no mention of Mac. The driver CD includes 10.1 drivers as stated on above site. 10.3 doesn't require any drivers though.

Plus the menu bar sports the following new item:

I haven't tested Sleep. My PowerBook has never been a good sleeper. It's less than 50/50 chance that it'll be a "Sleep of Death" anyway - even with no devices connected.

You can find full owner reports (latest shown first) by searching the database by drive/brand/interface/mac models (the latest reports are shown first in searches). For guides to installing CD/CDRW/DVD drives or Hard drives in many mac models, see the IDE Articles page. The Firewire articles page also has guides on case kits, installing drives, etc.
If you've added a IDE, SCSI, Firewire or USB hard drive, CDRW, tape drive, etc. make sure you add a report to the database. (If you post an updated entry - make sure you use the same name, etc. as you did before so I can find your past entry. Thanks.)
(Incomplete entries are deleted. Do not post questions in the database, it's for drive reports not questions on what drive to buy - for that try searching the database for reports from owners of your mac model on the drive type/brand/interface, etc. you're interested in.)
