I don't have anything to way about the English royalty, but the
reason I heard for Olduvai not coming out with the product was
a little different than the one I just read.  I read that
they found there was no way to account for all the different
things that can be connected to a Mac by way of ADB:  modems,
keyboards, mice, and graphics tablets; one company even uses
the ADB port as a means of software protection using an
electronic ADB key:  if the key isn't connected to the computer,
the software won't run.

A simple "plug in and play" solution couldn't be found.

But then again, I could be completely wrong.  Yeah, that's it:
it all happened in a dream.
