Perhaps not, but I recall clearly that my GRX model did
do usb even before I installed a ACPI kernel.  

USB generates an irq, and i remember distinctly that If
I wanted to have sounds working, I had to continuously
move the USB mouse to give the bus enough interrupts 
so that the sound card output would
get processed.  If I stopped mousing the sound would
get choppy and eventually stop.

One time I was listening to a solo violin mp3 stream, and someone
came into the room and asked why I was continuously moving 
my mouse but not clicking, and I replied that I was trying this new
sofware that emulates a violin.

She said, "Boy you are really good with that thing"... and walked
out.  She still believes it...  ;-)
