Basically, I'm just using splitter cables to put multiple devices on the ADB port. I have three keyboards hooked up to it right now and will 'prolly add another one. I freely admit that sane, rational people do not do things like this.
I just wanted to make sure that overloading the port will not result in any permanent damage, that's all. It's the sort of thing that's better learnt about second-hand.
At some point you blow a fuse. It can be replaced but requires finding it and soldering a replacement on the motherboard. Not something for the average user.
Check the Apple Knowledge Base archives, there is an article there that discusses the available current and common loads.
