@Pheebe It came out of a Performa 6200, so all I know is it's mid-90s Apple's fault somehow. What I kind of suspect is that there were already so dang many ribbon cables in that computer (it is seriously A Lot) that either they ran out of space for any more or someone finally said enough was enough.
@DrGoldfire just wow.
Is that USB_Kidding?
@DrGoldfire what cursed hotplug adapter is that??
