The ADB Macs have two ADB ports on the back. You can plug the keyboard
into one of them and the mouse into the other,if you like, or you can
daisy chain the mouse off the keyboard and plug something else into
the other port. Only one SCSI port is needed since most, if not all
SCSI devices have two ports. However, mice are very common, and the
don't have another ADB port to plug something in to. Apple did have a
reason for putting 2 ADB ports on the Macs, ya know...
