Casey,
You'll have problems if you have both the B&W G3 and the x86 boxes powered
up at the same time... And the G3 keeps the USB powered up all the time for
the power on key.
W2k, win 95/OSR2.1, & win 98 have USB support, but NT4 lacks USB support,
as does *I think* all flavors of *nix. Keep in mind that *nix is intended
(mostly) for servers and not really for the desktop... That is why you see
plenty of drivers for SCSI & NIC's, and not too many for video cards and
multimedia...
Cheers!
Dan
