Hmmm... That's odd. But, I once saw that the ADB driver failed to probe
the ADB transceiver when a external ADB device was connectted to it. Are
any external ADB devices connectted to your PB540c?

Yes. The PM code should work on all PB5xx models because these models are
basically using the same hardware except for the LCD panel and the MPU.
Also I suppose that the ADB chips in the PowerBook series have not yet been
supported by the current MRG stuff.
