Keyspan expands USB product line with Hub and 2-Port Serial Adapter
products for iMac
September 1— Seybold San Francisco, Booth 437 — Keyspan today announced
its Keyspan USB Hub and Keyspan USB Serial Adapter, low cost serial
expansion solutions designed for use with Apple Computer’s new iMac. These
products join the previously announced Keyspan USB Card, a PCI card which
offers a simple and affordable way to add USB to the existing generation of
Power Macintosh computers.
Keyspan USB Hub After a user connects their mouse and keyboard to an iMac
there is one USB port available for connecting additional USB devices. Many
iMac users will require additional USB capacity. The Keyspan USB Hub
provides four ports for connecting USB devices to the iMac. Available in
late September at a list price of $69, the hub is backed by a five year
warranty and 30-day money back guarantee.
Keyspan USB Serial Adapter The Keyspan USB Serial Adapter provides a way to
connect existing Macintosh serial devices- including tablets some printers
and PDAs- to the iMac’s USB port. Unlike the single port solutions
available from competitors, Keyspan’s adapter features two serial ports.
The adapter will begin shipping in early October at a list price of $79 and
is backed by a five year warranty and a 30-day money back guarantee.
“USB provides an easy way to expand an iMac,” noted Mike Ridenhour, Keyspan
president. “Many iMac owners will take advantage of USB to connect
printers, tablets, game controllers and other devices to their systems. Our
hub and our serial adapter offer reliable, low cost ways to create these
connections.”
