I do know that ADB (or a flavour of it) continued to exist and be used (for various tasks) in PowerBooks, right up till the MacBook. Models right up to the later G4 PowerBooks used the ADB protocol for connecting their internal Keyboard and trackpad, plus they all (afaik) continued to use it for the PMU and some other device I forget. How it was implemented, no idea. Might be as it was in legacy Macs, might be over USB, might be some internal specific bus protocol layer. But, no matter the technicalities, required ADB drivers to make those peripherals function. Make of that what you will :-) M -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
