Yeah, that's right, I tried the card in a PC, and it is uhci.
The box claims it is OHCI, though.

And since the card works on a PC, I guess it is not broken.

Yeah, I've tried all the slots now and it does not work in any of them.

And in some combinations the machine won't come up at all. For
example, the simplest case, trying to boot up with only the USB
card attached, the machine doesn't even get up to memory check.
Just black screen on power up. The system also does not boot if
the USB card is before the IDE card, but the other way around
the system boots, at least.
