 DESCRIPTION-

        Universal Serial Bus ports are already on every new motherboard
        and IBM has not even announced support for this technology.
        All slow-medium speed PC devices will be using this port
        instead of the slower and outdated standard serial ports.
        OS/2 needs to support USB if it is to stay competitive.  DVD,
        the replacement for CD-ROM, CD-E and CD-R is already shipping.
        IBM needs to get on the stick and support this technology in
        OS/2.

        ATTRIBUTES:

        MEDIUM Value
        Desired next FIXPACK
