hi eric,
i haven't tried any of these products, but they *should* work. the
mac hb software uses low level driver calls, so if that stuff is
patched and translated to usb, it would work.
but if i were you i'd get one and try it on an existing machine before
buying one. please let us know the result. thanks.
fred
