ADB is not a daisy-chained interface like SCSI; it can be split up into two or more forks wherever you want. In fact, the LC and Classic are the only ADB-capable Macs with only one ADB port (wait - nw that I think of it, the IIsi might also only have one; I forget). -------------------- Jeffrey Hutzelman America Online: JeffreyH11 Internet: jh4o+@andrew.cmu.edu BITNET: JHUTZ@DRYCAS >> Apple // Forever!!! << Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
