But try to get USB hardware in Italy... being in italy i can speak about that.. cameras and scanners are more and more available in stores on USB nowadays (actually it is becoming difficult to find non-USB scanners and especially cameras in some places). I haven't seen many keyboards/mice on USB though. Speaking of USB: i have read that bus throughput with a single node is reported at about 750KB/s, whereas with multiple nodes bus throughput falls down very rapidly (because of arbitration etc ?) to 250KB or so. So i would not want a HD on it! cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
