When I was in college a design group I was in built a usb composite
keyboard/mouse. IIRC it took up one address slot. Now it used the HID
specification for both, so we created one HID device that could input keys
and have mouse functions, so I don't know how an integrated hub would be as

I don't mean physical USB ports, it is seen as 4 devices by the OS.

Technically, You'd need USB hubs to interconnect those keyboards, but,
there's 2 physical controllers on the iMacs, so wouldn't it be double

I'm just wondering how you'd plug in that last .4 of a keyboard...

Same as any other, provided the USB cable is on that part of the
keyboard. If it isn't then, well, you're just going to have to round
down and make do with only 110 keyboards.

My iMac has 3 USB ports, does that mean 127 keyboards per port, or is that the

First, it's not 127. USB allows for 127 devices. But that

No problem Bill. Anyway, I was sleeping it because I had te urge to use it,
started it up and then realized that I didn't have a keyboard for it at the
moment :) anyway, does anyone know why the HD might rev up during sleep mode?
BTW, I just checked in system profiler and it is actually a

It's probably not a good idea to sleep it before it's fully loaded, just wait a
few seconds for everything to load, and then put it to sleep if you're not
going to use it.
Like others have said, that just happens with some HD's in those iMacs. My
little brother had an
Yeah, your probably right... Anyway, is it hard to swap the hard drive of an
iMac G3 slot loader? And more importantly, is it dangerous?

Nope, and nope. There's four screws on the underside, then 6 or so screws on
the RF shield, then 4 on the HD.

Hi,
If you have a Western Digital Hard Drive inside in that iMac, that
problem will arise. There is an issue with certain firmware versioins
on the slot loader iMac G3s that would conflict with 6-80gb Western
Digital Caviar HDs. Has this hard drive been replaced at any time? You
