1) I don't see how "NOP" the calls out would work since no return 
communication would return from the dongle. No number returned for specific 
seed number, program quits.

2) Aladdin Knowledge systems makes adb and USB dongles (no need for an iMate) 
but the interface to fb3 is giving me problems with ppc code, fb2 seems to 
work ok with both types of dongles.

3) Does anyone else make adb and usb dongles and have software that works 
with FB3?
