USB connector and adapter guide
First I'll start with a quick rundown on what USB is. Then we can look at the different types of connectors and their uses. USB, or Universal Serial Bus has become the standard for serial interface connectivity among peripherals. Most all computers, regardless of brand, are sold with built-in USB ports now days. In the Apple/iMac world, USB replaced the Apple Desktop Bus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or ADB. In the world of PC,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], USB has quickly replaced the standard PS/2 Connection. While many computers still come with both, USB and PS/2, the PS/2 connectors are quickly being phased out as more systems are being built w/out PS/2 at all. Many laptops are now shipped without PS/2 connections. However, for those with an ample investment in PS/2 peripherals, (such as keyboards, mice, speakers, etc. ) there is a large variety of adapters available.
