Universal Serial Bus USB, Using USB Devices | Apple EMac guide

Universal Serial Bus (USB)

Your eMac comes with five USB ports () (three high-speed USB 2.0 ports on the computer and two USB 1.1 ports on the keyboard), which you can use to connect many types of external devices, including printers, scanners, digital cameras, game pads, joysticks, keyboards, and floppy disk drives. USB makes it easy to connect external equipment. In most cases you can connect and disconnect a USB device while the computer is running. Once you connect the device, it is ready to use.

Using USB Devices

To use a USB device with your computer, simply connect the device to the computer. Your computer automatically accesses the necessary software whenever you connect a new device.

You can connect original USB 1.1 devices and high-speed USB 2.0 devices to the USB 2.0 ports on the side of your computer. USB 1.1 devices won’t take advantage of the USB 2.0 higher transfer rate.

Likewise, you can connect USB 2.0 devices to the USB 1.1 ports on your keyboard, but they will operate at significantly slower speeds.

Note: Apple has already included software to work with many USB devices. When you connect a USB device, if your eMac cannot find the correct software, you can install the software that came with the device or check the device manufacturer’s website for the latest software.
