[Cube] USB stopped working

[Bruce Carr]

This dilemma is mystifying. The USB function is very intermittent.
I've now tried booting into system 9 and then I saw the mouse working at the
"choose System 9 or system 10 window" I went with 10 - the USB works. Do the
same routine  second time and it doesn't work. Third time - works. System
profiler sees the USB devices.
