Dear Members,
Does anyone know how to connect a keyboard and mouse to the single ADB
connection on a 6100 PowerMac?
There is only one ADB connection, is there a adapter for this
connection to be able to use the keyboard and
mouse at the same time?

Thank You in advance for any help you can give.

Plug the mouse into the keyboard and the keyboard into the computer.

Remember: Like SCSI, ADB is NOT hot-pluggable. So only plug / unplug
ADB devices when the computer is shutdown!

You plug the Keyboard into the 6100, and then plug the mouse into the
ADB Port on the keyboard.

Turn the keyboard upside down. You will see the ADB connection for the
mouse. :o)
