You might also want to look in a Mac mag >since the ADB is an Apple Standard and there are more ADB devices (or so >I hear) available for the Mac, which may make something like that a I'm being MONDO "anally retentive" about this I guess, but it seems if we pound this into people's heads enough, it may eventually sink in. (I'm kind of tired right now too, so I may sound a little harsher than I mean to) There most likely are more ADB devices --ADVERTIZED-- for the Mac, but there is no such thing as more ADB devices being -AVAILABLE- for the Mac. ADB is ADB.. Mac/GS it doesn't matter.. (except maybe drivers in the case of a scanner or some other weird thing that might be ADB).. but the HARDWARE PATHWAY is -EXACTLY- the same, so the ADB device doesn't care whether you're using it on the GS or a Mac. The same idea is 99.99999999% true about SCSI. SCSI is SCSI. Apparently there are fairly rare circumstances where something won't work, but you can be pretty certain about buying a "SCSI" drive and it working with your Mac or GS. >BTW: Why don't you just tack the second keyboard onto the first and then ^^^^^^^^ He said two mice. quantum leap week this week. -- /unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu Apple IIGS Forever! unknown@cats.ucsc.edu\ |WANT to help get ULTIMA VI //e or GS written?-mail me.
