This is more an iMac issue, but Apple made it tough with the early
iMacs (tray-loaders and up through the 350MHz introductory low-end
slot loader) when they provided only slow USB ports.
Anne, when the iMacs were introduced there WEREN'T any "slow" USB
ports; just the ones Apple used. These USB ports were faster than
serial and about equivalent to SCSI. After pooh-poohing Apple's USB
route, the PC drones decided to jump on the bandwagon, but waited for
USB2 and then immediately started being snide about USB 1.1's speed.
Of course Apple has beaten them again with FireWire. If you want to
add a speedy port to the Rev A - D iMacs, then get Sonnet's HARMONi
upgrade: It gives you a Firewire port and a faster processor.
