I knew they were doing something smarter with their proto-USB protocol. Funny, I didn't know Apple hardware had a 15-IRQ limit.

But I won't get that behaviour from the console. Oh, well. - Steve -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
