Says all it needs is a USB port to plug in and uses no special driver. The only question is converting to a USB keyboard and mouse on FreeBSD. Might not be recognized by your BIOS so it won't work until after the kernel is loaded. If you need to borrow a USB keyboard there should be one on your wife's iMac, or I have a spare. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
