J Josh Man macrumors newbie Original poster Jun 16, 2005 #1 I just bought an iMac G3 on eBay! But I have a question: Do they have PS/2? Thanks!
S screensaver400 macrumors 6502a Jun 16, 2005 #2 IIRC, the iMac was the first major computer that used USB for keyboards and mice. I'm fairly new to macs, though... Did any mac ever use PS/2?

ITASOR macrumors 601 Jun 16, 2005 #3 Nope, no macs had PS/2. They had ADB which looks like PS/2 and is often confused for it.
B Bid4Mac macrumors newbie Jun 16, 2005 #4 If you need to use a PS/2 keyboard and / or mouse you can buy a converter at a computer store to convert the PS/2 to USB. They're pretty cheap and work pretty well. HTH
