System Profiler in my PB G4 AL book (the last 1.67GHz model) does not list ADB at all. The keyboard and trackpad are listed on a separate USB bus from the external ports. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- 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).
