Does this mean what I think it does, that linux _already_ has USB 3.0
support?
I'm sure that hi-kwality Winders stuff has it already, too, what with
it being at the top of the......
Come to think of it, I'm beginning to recall a troll-infested thread
(are there any that aren't?) awhile back about this very subject, and
it seems the conclusion was that Windwoes might have drivers in SP27
for XP, or SP8 of ME II, or SP4 of Vista ][ (aka "Vista Redux", "ME
III", "XP SP5/6 SP8", "Windross the 7th", etc), or maybe a CD you could
buy from them with drivers that sorta worked on some systems running
Windoze 14 or higher.
