I'm happy to volunteer for testing Alpha and PPC.
I have the following devices (so far):
ORB drive
MS IntelliMouse Explorer
Belkin multiport hub (serial/parallel+three USB)
Belkin USB BusPort Mobile (Cardbus)
Logitech Firstmouse Wheel
Epson Perfection 636U (so far, untested by me)
I think that's it.
A few caveats, I cannot guarantee that I'll test every patch.
I test almost every pre-patch. I do test every major patch.
I also have my daughter to look after, so I may be unavailable
for a day or two. I also have yet to get Linux installed on
my PPC box. I think I can get that done in the next couple
of days. Lastly, since I uncover bugs in many parts
of the kernel (PCMCIA, etc.), I may sometimes be sidetracked
on nailing down a non-USB problem.
