>> the original iMac abruptly dropped support for SCSI, ADB, and serial in favor of USB

Except, the next few updates of that iMac brought 2 FireWire ports, a 56k modem port, ethernet, and a Mezzanine slot

And you could put an SCSI card into that Mezzanine slot.

We had a generation B iMac, and it was an incredibly versatile machine.

It worked with all our old SCSI stuff (Scanner, ZIP drive), supported all the new USB printers (no need to get a "Mac" printer anymore)...

Only stupid thing was that all those connectors where squeezed into a tiny space behind that a small door.

I loved that computer.
