Donald, you might try plugging the floppy into the top port and the keyboard into the bottom one just to see if it works. If not, then I'd suggest getting a powered hub. The iMate is an ADB to USB adapter from Griffin. The TurboMouse is an ADB device. Of my USB peripherals, only the Belken USB switch, the Canon scanner and the 240MB SuperDisk are powered from the USB line. The Zip drive, Palm charger/cradle, and the printer itself have their own power supplies. I use the Belken USB switch to share my printer between both iMacs.
