Was the ability actually discontinued, or did Apple simply remove the

I'd not be the least bit surprised if you plugged in a keyboard with a
power key, that it powers on even the latest Mac models (I'd also not be
surprised if it doesn't).
No they won't. I plugged my Apple USB keyboard with a power on/off
button into my G4 iMac and the button does not work. Apple removed
some of the circuitry in the iMacs that allowed power on/off via usb
keyboards
a keyboard with a power key will boot my G3 DV400.
This is the type of info I am looking for; thanks, Kari
I use a griffin
i-mate adapter with my original 6205 unperforma keyboard.
Hmm, I haven't tried my Apple Adjustable ADB keyboard and th iMate.
I'll first try it on the Rev B G3 iMac and then on the Rev A G4 iMac.
