[Duo2400] Re: ADB to USB?

[Ivan Drucker]

There is NO WAY to use USB devices on a NuBus Mac, PERIOD. I welcome 
anyone to prove me wrong, with specifics. It's just not possible with the 
existing devices on the market, period. It has nothing to do with OS 
support. For it to happen, someone would have to specifically design a 
device and write a device driver for it, and no one has done so AFAIK. I 
and others have explained why using other adapters won't work. I am sorry 
to be the bearer of bad news.

Again, please prove me wrong. I would love to learn something cool and 
new. I just don't think it helps the list out to claim that something 
unlikely has worked without backing it up with specifics.

Ivan.
