~50 on Aria, but they're out of stock...

Well I'm not so sure about that, and that was actually the question I
wanted to ask...  The references aren't very clear that it _won't_
work with USB 1.0.  USB 1.0 theoretically has enough bandwidth (12 Mbit).

I can't imagine the USB device does any demultiplexing to reduce the
bandwidth requirements.  That would require some smarts that I doubt it
has...
