I have a pc that has limited or non-fuctional usb2 ports. I'd
like to have support for fast usb3 devices. Is there a
reasonably-priced usb3-over-eth solution? The Digi AnywhereUSB
AW02-G300 sounds awesome but it is over $400.

Why do you want it to go over ethernet? There are USB3 expansion cards you can add to a PC. This is a PCI express card:

Thx. ..but I guess I failed to mention that my "pc" is a
laptop. It has two PCMCIA ports, but I don't think USB 3
speeds would be supported thru that interface, thus I haven't
seen such a beast.

If you're looking for something new instead of ebay -- https://www.usbgear.com/ANYPLACEUSB-H3.html is a 3-port USB 3.1 over IP

Excellent find. Thx.

I suppose this could just be a RaspPi repackaged?

Most things you do over USB are pretty sporadic anyways.

Perhaps, but a device like that can supplant the meagre USB2 on
older laptops.

What about a PCIe expansion card. I see USB3 cards going for as little as $5.

Spend the other $395 on gas...

Hello Airmailman!

AnywhereUSB AW02-G300 sounds awesome but it is over $400.

for as little as $5.

I decided to get an ExpressCard/54 (PCIe). My T60 Thinkpad
seemed to accomodate one ..and I didn't realize ExpressCard
support was there.

The new card is equipped with three USB3.0 ports.

Seems to be a good stop-gap measure for now.

The USB3 speeds on the card are about double what I was getting
on the USB2 ports. That's good enuff for now.

Spend the other $395 on gas...

No kidding. :O
