[rescue] USB to serial bridge

[Matthew Braun]

I have a TiBook which also is lacking a serial port and I'm using a 
Keyspan (http://www.keyspan.com/products/homepage-Serial.spml) "High 
Speed" serial adapter (http://www.keyspan.com/products/usb/USA19W/). It 
works great and is compatible with Windows, OS X, Linux, and Pocket PC.

I've used it to serial into a NetBSD box, as well as for syncing my 
Palm V and have no complaints at all. As always, YMMV, but I like it.
