Unfortunately, I??aky P??rez's universal USB driver does not yet support                  
scanners. I understand USB mice work, albeit slowly. The imac keyboard
also functions using the boot protocol. But, alas, not much else.                       

Those who are interested may have a look at                    
http://peloncho.fis.ucm.es/~inaky/uusbd-www which is currently not
responding, but is the official site.                  

I myself am eyeing a UMAX usb scanner.
