Review Summary
Mac: Mac OS 9.1 or greater, or OS X, USB port
PC: Windows 98, Me, 2000 or XP, USB port
PC Compatibility Note: PC support is generally limited to mouse and keyboard support. This also allows for the use of track pads, trackballs, and bar code scanners/wands, which use these drivers.
iMac Computers: Built in support in ROM. iMac updates are required for Rev A andRev B models (233 Mhz) when using ADB devices with custom drivers.
Mac Wake from Sleep: Please note wakeup from sleep mode is supported with ADB keyboards using the iMate but the power on key is used with external keyboards on PowerBooks G3s. This is different than previous PowerBooks that would awake with any keystroke.
Macs with USB Cards: PCI Macs with USB cards are supported. You need to download USB Card Support 1.2 or later to use the iMate (or any other USB device). Soft power on (keyboard power on) is supported by Macs with built in USB but is currently not supported by any USB cards.
The iMate USB to ADB adapter is the perfect companion for your new PowerMac G4, PowerBook G4, iBook or iMac computer. It allows you to continue to use your favorite ADB mice, keyboards, trackballs, trackpads, hardware dongles and other ADB peripherals.
The iMate is also the ultimate cross platform compatibility device. With Windows support you can now use your existing Mac keyboards, mice, trackballs, and trackpads to control both a Mac and a PC.
And since USB is fully hot swappable asimple switchbox is all you need to control multiple computers. The iMate not only preserves your investment in ADB but it is remarkably inexpensive. The iMate is indeed the ultimate computer compatibility device.
