Häääääääähhhh ?????

The ATX-standard does NOT force any layout tothe port!!!

ATX just defines a rectangular space for IO,and the metal-plate to fit
in is supposed to come with the mobo.

Yes, I know that realitymay differ a bit, but A1 (all versions) and Peg
allready feature non-standard port-layouts,and atleast the Peg comes
with a fitting IO-panel.

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

@Tomas

TurboPrint does support quite a wide range of USB-printers, and
it should work out of the box as long as the USB-stack has a working
virtual par-device (like Poseidon).
