Executive Summary:
iMate provides an ADB port for any computer with a USB port. Obviously this is useful to match any ADB device with an iMac or any recent PowerBook or iBook or a G4 Power Macintosh. iMate will also allow you to use an ADB mouse and keyboard on a USB-capable PC - without any driver!
The Full Story
When Apple introduced the iMac the company had also eliminated the ADB port, a vital connectivity option in previous models. While the newly introduced USB port opened new vistas the move cut off more than hundred different peripheral devices from being used on the iMac.
Griffin Technology jumped to bridge the gap and created iMate - an adapter that makes use of USB-connectivity to provide ADB for the iMac. Today, iMate is an indispensable companion to countless iMac users running legacy applications with copy protection dongles based on ADB and many other users with needs as varied as the devices they connect.
The iMate allows users to connect any ADB peripheral to iMacs, Powerbooks and other Macs equipped with USB ports, and PCs with USB ports. The iMate allows you to continue to use your favorite mice, keyboards, trackballs, trackpads, hardware dongles and other ADB peripherals - a list of compatible devices is included in the iMate driver documentation.
One example of such »other ADB peripherals« are Apple Studio Displays, that »are a piece of junk without ADB« as one user emphatically phrased the obvious. Wonder how to use blueberry Apple Studio Displays on an iMac? Look no further than iPort - another piece of fine craftsmanship from Griffin Technology.
The iMate combines cool translucent plastic and an LED that flashes to indicate data transfer on the outside with advanced software engineering on the inside. It not only preserves your investment in ADB but also provides the ultimate in cross platform compatibility - have you ever tried to add a Mac peripheral to a PC without rebooting and without installing a driver? iMate can do exactly that for ADB mice and keyboards!
The iMate is not only useful and universal, it is remarkably inexpensive. At a suggested retail price of 115 DM the iMate is indeed the ultimate computer compatibility device.
