So if you know all about forklifts what is it specifically you
have against Enersys tubular batteries? I have not worked for them
for four years and am hardly touting the company but the truth is
they make damn good batteries.

I didn't say I had a problem with their batteries. You assumed I knew
nothing about other types of batteries...*shrug*

Since you are familiar with motive power then I do not need to go
into detail about why a tubular battery delivers more power than a
flat plate (for the same sized battery.)

No, you don't. If I want 'real power' for very small size and weight,
I'd be running one or more flavors of lithium these days, anyhow. I
can get more amps out of them than I could tubular or flat plate, for
much smaller physical size and weight. A ****load more amps,
actually.

Have you seen the electric drag racing car?

I heard that if the mobo had USB support, one could compile-in USB
support and get it going. The cognoscenti at the time advised me
that it would not work if the machine had an add-on USB card.

Though my old P-1 did have an add-on USB card I saw no reason why
I could not give it a try...so I compiled a USB kernel but as I
was warned...my add-on card did not function.

Years later I discussed this with a friend who wrote drivers for
HP and quite a bit brighter than me in the area. He told me that I
would have needed to specify the H/W parameters of the card
itself. Something way beyond my ability.

Your friend is correct. That's SOP for driver writing, btw.
