I think the audio might be USB, too. Stand corrected :) Explains why Belkin suddenly makes/distributes USB Keyboards and Mice as well. What's sick is Microsofts new Speaker system, it supports 'digital audio' via USB. Thing is, not Win95 Compatible, let alone anything else. Requires Win98, otherwise it's analog via standard input. I'm shocked at the amount of stuff that has instantly appeared in USB because of the existance of the thing though. I may not be a Mac fan (even though I used to own one, blah blah), but this is a plus for the PC market who has had USB support in some form for several years.. (I have a rather old Biostar Pentium-Class Mainboard that has USB support on it..) There's some things I just plain don't want to see on USB. My Intel camera with the BT848 card is better than the USB Intel Camera, for one. --- Drew "Droobie" Baxter Network Admin/Professional Computer Nerd(TM) OneEX: The OneNetwork Exchange, Bangor Maine USA http://www.droo.orland.me.us PGP ID: 409A1F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
