RE: Keyboard? What Keyboard?
Those ports are duplicate ADB ports (Apple DeskTop Bus) You need a
Special Mac keyboard - PC Keyboards won't work - Traditionally the Keyboard
plugs into the ABD port and the Mouse plugs into the keyboard... The IIci
having duplicate ADB ports you could plug them in separatly if you really
care to...
Modern Macs: (iMac - B&W G3/G4 etc) now use USB for keyboard & Mouse
connections...

Subject: Keyboard? What Keyboard?
Hi, I have an Macintosh IIci I'm gearing up to put debian on (the guy
missing a floppydrive ps again), and suddenly noticed another problem.
Where does the keyboard plug in? (not that I actually have one though). I
had assumed it was a ps/2 type keyboard and mouse, but I recently looked
closer, and realized one of the connectors was for a phone line and the
other was for the printer. There are two other small din connectors with a
symbol above them, but I cannot puzzel out the icon. It is a vertical line
with two 90degree lines going left and another going to the right. Are they
serial ports or maybe the missing mouse/keyboard connectors? I might have
this wrong, but a friend of mine had a powerPC (this was a while back) and I
think I remember the keyboard plugging into the monitor. Is this right?
Looks like I've got no chance of using a common pc-type keyboard with this
unit, so if anyone can tell me what type of keyboard it is, I can try to
find one. Thanks.
Gregg
