Hey, great news!
BTW, where's the usb_kit in OpenBeOS? No team, no dedicated ML yet?
Could you tell us more about your USBD driver(s?) replacement?
I, for one, will like talking about OpenBeOS USB support,
binary compatibility, etc.

Oh, come on! If we did have billion USB BeOS drivers projects,
BeOS would have a far better USB devices support today!
