It would be hard for Apple to have dropped ADB because, according to

article, the PowerBooks and iBooks up to 2005 (when Tiger was
released) used ADB for the keyboard and trackpad. I just posted this
because i had read somewhere on a page about the Grififn iMate that
Apple had dropped ADB support in Tiger and up.
Wrong. My 2004 iBook only has USB and Firewire. I've never seen a G4
Mac with ADB.
Check the Apple web site for machine specs, not Wikipedia.

It didn't have an external ADB plug, it was purely to run the *internal*
keyboard and trackpad.
My G4 iBook running Leopard shows no USB devices, either in System
Profiler or USB Prober. It does however have the following files in
/System/Library/Extensions:
AppleADBButtons.kext
AppleADBKeyboard.kext
AppleADBMouse.kext
