Dear friends I think DAvid is right noone really knows at al lthe exact configuration of these Miatas. Somene even told me that there were models of MiataGL without the 2 USB ports. In the DreeBSD HARDWARE.TXT is reported that a MiataGL must have in the rear 2 USB port but this machine I am about to buy is a MiataGL wiouth the 2 USB ports...
