Based on reading Jude's original reply, I'm almost certain that "1989" was
a typo and should read "1999". (USB was not even an idea in 1989, let alone
a BIOS feature. The original message went on to comment, "Many unethical
computer vendors were installing usb equipment before July 1999....")
Beyond that ... this should be sufficient to let the kernel's USB support
work. Whether you have "other problems" or not depends on the specific USB
devices you want to use ... an increasing number are supported by the Linux
kernel, but there's no way to know if unnamed devices are supported or not,
or what the difficulties of getting them to work might be.
