Still on the ADB topic what other devices were/are? available. My compact manual only mentions a pen tablet?

I Usually run my Classic *without* keyboard. I use it mainly as a game machine, and it sits in a ver narrow table, so the Apple Keyboard II is too wide, and usually it's in a drawer. If I'm going to need it, I plug it *before* turning the power on. Phil & Fiona Mars ha escrito: > Am I correct in the anology that Apple's ADB is not dissimilar to today's > USB ?? In fact, I suspect that USB's engineers have based their designs on Apple's ADB. They share the most important features: one serial data line and two power lines shared by all devices, an addressing schema for enumerating devices, and a flow control protocol to allow the devices to share the data line. USB only increases the device limit (from 16 to 127) and the data rate (from few thousand bps to 10 Mbps) and offers "hot-swap" capabilities. But in concept they are *very* simmilar. One more thing that the PC has copied from Apple... Greetings, Antonio Rodr�guez (Grijan) <ftp://grijan.cjb.net:21000/> -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
