USB Ports and Devices

The USB ports take the place of the serial I/O ports found on earlier Macintosh computers. Software shims have been implemented in the system software to allow existing applications that use ADB devices to work with USB devices.

The Power Macintosh G3 computer uses a USB keyboard and mouse similar to the USB keyboard and mouse introduced with the iMac computer.

USB game controllers are supported by the InputSprocket component of the Apple Games Sprockets software architecture. InputSprocket software and information about the InputSprocket APIs can be found at
