I'm hardpressed to believe this, as the USB driver chip controls the current, and Apple has to buy those. Besides which, I'm sure midst all the cross-licensing agreements is the one that sez 'it must conform or you can't call it "USB"..' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- USB standard is an oxymoron. If there was ever a technology that was written with guidelines instead of rules USB 1.x is it. While USB 1.x has improved over time it still has compatibility issues. My favorite was one time when I was going through the HP troubleshooter on their website trying to get a printer set up. The question was "Is your USB chipset made by this major vendor?" (can't remember which one) I checked and sure enough it was. So I said yes and got this nice screen that told be in no uncertain terms that there was no way I was ever going to get it to work. The standard basically got the shape size and pinout of the connector standardized and left everything else in too broad terms. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
