  Umm, I think you misunderstood me.  I know you can do this because that is
  _my_ setup, i.e. keybd, Turbomouse, apple mouse.  And this is on a GS.  No
  real problems, for about 4 years.  Kind of confusing when the mouse lock
  is on & I don't realize it. 
  Anyway, I'll repeat for anyone who did not catch it the first time.  You
  may have upto 11 devices on the ADB port.  BUT to fully utilize it 1 must
  be a keybd, one must be a mouse, & one must be a graphic tablet.  The
  remaining 8 may be any combo of the above.  In my last post I was unsure
  about the ADB y-connector, but since the devices are not screening each
  other for collisions and it is basically just straight wire connections
  then it should work fine.
