Apple's 2019 Mac Pro: eight things we want to see

Well, I would be upset. My two NEC 30" monitors each require a USB port, and the USB port cannot be a port on a USB hub, they each must be a port directly on the 2013 Mac Pro. Also, the Apple DVD drive requires a USB port directly on the Mac Pro. So I'm left with just a single USB port available as it is. If my next computer doesn't have at least 4 USB ports I'll have to buy new monitors just to be able to connect them.
With this setup, you can connect everything to a new Mac Pro, with only a single adapter needed for the SuperDrive, and not a single USB-A used.
The "Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter" must connect to both a thunderbolt port and a USB port directly on the computer. If you're saying that with the use of more adapters I'll be good to go, all well and good. If not, I'll have to keep chuggin' along with what I've got. Thank you for the response. There's hope. ;-)
