I dont think so.

There is a whole avalanche of USB dependant devices coming. Vendors are facing
very real 'we need it now' pressure in Japan (all the new toys are USB),
and with the ADSL announcement also the UK. A lot of laptops are using USB
devices heavily and the latest intel i810 based PC systems do not have
anything but USB ports accessible on low end units. Bios kbd/mouse does not
get you networking, zip drives, printing modems or scanners.
