What Does ADB Stand For?
ADB stands for Apple Desktop Bus
ADB, or Apple Desktop Bus, is a communication protocol developed by Apple Inc. for connecting input devices such as keyboards and mice to Macintosh computers. Introduced in the late 1980s, ADB allows multiple devices to be connected in a daisy-chain configuration, providing a simplified interface for peripheral management. The bus-style connection was notable for its ability to support multiple devices without requiring individual ports, making it an efficient solution for early Mac systems until it was eventually superseded by USB technology.
