Which was the last model that used ADB for the internal keyboard
and trackpad?
Either the Lombard (I know this for certain) or the Pismo G3 (maybe,
I don't remember); Apple had gone away from ADB for good before the
G4 powerbooks came out.
All the G3 iceBooks have ADB keyboard & trackpad. It appears all the
PPC iBooks & PowerBooks including the G4's also have legacy ADB
keyboards & trackpads. I determined this by booting my G3 iceBook
using verbose Cmd-v and noting the "ADB present:8c" which comes nearly
first thing in the verbose startup dialog. I then Googled "ADB present:
8c" and the first hit in Google says "PowerBook g4 won't boot" and has
a copy of the verbose dialog from a G4 PowerBook that also has ADB
keyboard & trackpad. From this I think it's reasonable to assume all
PPC Apple notebooks use ADB keyboard & trackpad.
