Hi Jim,

I have an OEM keyboard that works just fine.  Also anything connected via USb has worked as well. In fact- I keep both the ADB mouse and a Logitech USB mouse connected simutaneously and yes they both work.  How does the Kensington connect? USB?

Hi Matt,

Sorry I have no idea even what machine you have let alone how to install anyting on it - in fact it took me a month to get Macos installed on my old world UMAX.  :P  That was an experience!
I can however say with absolute certainty that the Twin Turbo card does in fact work with YDL.  Since I use bootx I had to make sure that both the "force video mode" and "no video driver" options were checked and have a default depth of 24 in XF86Config.
