I'd not be sure it should be OK in this situation, though.  Or that
the "opendis-0.0.3-pre4" release is really free of dependencies on
serial I/O models, where such cases are the norm.  (By the way, the
page above lists 0.0.2 -- dated August, with no USB support -- as the
most current version!)

That'll be very good to have.


As a quick sanity check, though, is USB working nicely on that
PowerMac for anyone else?  I've not heard many success reports,
pro or con, on Mac USB support.
