Just curious if anyone has any idea as to the compatibility of the new G5 with existing peripherals. I have a one year old Epson scanner and printer, both USB and a slightly older Intuos Wacom tablet that is USB. I'd rather not replace these yet. I suppose it's a matter of Epson and Wacom updating the drivers.

Of course my first generation iPod is likely okay I assume.

Thanks, Nelson

Nelson, I think it's a safe bet that if your peripherals work with Jaguar, they will work with Panther on the G5 machines. I don't think you'll see an OS upgrade with less peripheral support. And the G5s have the same interfaces as your G4--firewire and USB.
