This means that only one mouse is capable of being attached without some sort of custom-built "Y" connector in the daisy chain. This can be done on a Mac, since it has the two ADB ports. Just being picky. If you do manage to attach two mice, you will find it doesn't really help anything. It can even get more confusing.
