My B&W is out in the workshop and I have to admit that I haven't taken a closer look, and from what you're saying it wouldn't be any good anyway then as it's a 450MHz G3, i.e. 2nd generation and therefore no ADB. Hmm... :o/
That would be news to me! I've never heard of a B&W that DIDN'T have
ADB. To my knowledge, the only major change to the board from the early
revision isn't a physical change at all, but a change in the IDE
controller chip to a newer version which had better support for slave
drives. The early controller chip caused data corruption on slave
drives, hence the change. They also changed the drive sled in the bottom
of the case to a version which holds two (stacked) drives. The Rev 1
machines only hold one drive. I've had both revisions and both had ADB
ports.
True, and this is why I consider a rev.2 B&W with a G4 upgrade a superior machine to a Yikes. I like my ADB keyboards. :-)
