Hollywood-Projects: PubTrivia and LoView 1.6

- A lot less interrupt load on Highway and Subway with Ethernet adapters
and other devices constantly NAK'ing on input data
- Bugfix in massstorage.class regarding the broken geometry with simple
SCSI enabled
- HID class now knows the names of the touchscreen extension items (no
default actions though, because I don't have one here to test)
