Re: USB 1.1 Ports Upgrade?
I have to correct myself. Upon further review and looking at both my bondi and blueberry, I have discovered that the housing of the ports on the motherboard are is not connected to the case. Therefore; a mother-board in a bondi can be exchanged whith at least a blueberry and I think any G3 of that type. They look interchangible.

OOps actually, you may be able to put the mother-board from the bondi in the the blueberry but not the other way around.

Re: USB 1.1 Ports Upgrade?
Hi Is there such a thing as a firewire to USB converter. Must admit I haven't seen them, but it might give you faster USB via Firewire.
