We tried to use CellQuest on the iMac using the iMate from Griffin
Technologies (an ADB to USB adapter:
http://www.nashville.net/~griffin/imac/imate_ds.html) and it did NOT work,
despite downloading the (then) latest drivers and iMac firmware. This was
more than 2 months ago, things may have changed.
