Hope this helps ... --- end of quote --- I don't know first hand about usb keyboards on a Beige, but Apple says stick with ADB so you can use the start button and also the various key combinations that can affect early boot, such as the C key that causes boot from the CD drive. I have a trackball, a ShuttlePro, and a joystick, not to mention a printer and Compact Flash card reader on the Usb/firewire combo card in my Beige and all work happily. The problem with the Beige is that it doesn't load the usb drivers until pretty late in the boot process, while machines with built in usb load them quite early. Power to usb usually comes on before they are actually active. So if you are not getting lights or working usb, your boot process probably hasn't come along far enough yet. That's why you can't boot from a CD using a usb keyboard. I put a Logitech usb keyboard on my mother-in-law's iMac using the original keyboard as a hub (mouse and new keyboard to original keyboard, leaving the other motherboard usb port for the printer.) I'm pretty sure a usb keyboard would be happy on a Beige if you keep the ADB keyboard plugged in too. You would use the ADB keyboard for early inputs and the usb board after the usb becomes active. (I assume all the needed usb related extensions are present and active in your system if you are in OS 9. They are part of X.)
