I think the system inforamtion application is a bit buggy.

On my PowerMac the "Apple System profiler" application says:

    Machine speed :  267MHz
    Bus speed     :  67MHz

in reality that's 1MHz more than it officially should be and what
appears in the "About This Mac" window or similar system information
applications under Mac OS 9.

Under the PCI section it also lists the add USB card three times -
which could be due to the card having multiple USB ports*, BUT the
entries are different.

    A1:  
        Card Type  :  usb  
        Card Name  :  pci1033,35 
        Card Model :  Not available 
        Vendor ID  :  1033 
        Device ID  :  35   
        ROM#       :  Not available 
        Revision   :  43   
        
    A1:  
        Card Type   :  usb 
        Card Name   :  pci1033,35   
        Card Model  :  Not available   
        Vendor ID   :  1033   
        Device ID   :  35  
        ROM#        :  Not available   
        Revision    :  43  
        
    A1:  
        Card Type   :  usb 
        Card Name   :  pci1033,e0   
        Card Model  :  Not available   
        Vendor ID   :  1033   
        Device ID   :  e0  
        ROM#        :  Not available   
        Revision    :  4

* I can't remember how many and can't be bothered pulling
  the tower out to look, although I'm sure there's more
  than three - I have a vague recollection of it being
  three external and one internal.
