The "built-in USB" is not the problem. That's just a handy way of
distinguishing the ROM needed. The machines that had USB built-in had
"New World" ROM in em; those that didn't, don't.

I have no idea if X Post Facto, a shareware program that USED to be able
to allow OS X to be installed on machines that otherwise couldn't use it
(up to a point, obviously) can get around this problem or not.
