 Apple Desktop Bus
The first system to use ADB was the Apple IIgs in 1986.
It was subsequently used on all Apple Macintosh machines starting with the Macintosh II and Macintosh SE, before it was replaced by USB in the late 1990s, starting on the iMac.
If you did plug in two keyboards, or a more common example, two graphics tablets, when the bus was first setting up one of them would be the first to respond on the bus, and the other would notice the bus was busy and not respond.

 Apple Desktop Bus Information
Apple Desktop Bus (or ADB) is an obsolete bit-serial bus for connecting low-speed devices to computers.
ADB was created by Steve Wozniak, who had been looking for a project to work on in the mid-1980s.
The ADB system is based around the devices having the ability to decode a single number (the address) and being able to hold several small bits of data (their registers).

 Background to the Apple IIgs, Apple's Home Computer for 1986
The Apple II, introduced in 1978, was a phenomenally successful platform, eventually coming to possess a 20% share of the personal computer market in the US, but by 1985 the era of the 8-bit computers was coming to an end.
Apple went public in 1980 with an initial offering of $22 per share, and the price went up to $29 on the first day of trading.
Despite having been revised several times, the Apple II was showing its age while the Mac was too expensive for home use - and while it featured a high-resolution display, it was monochrome.

 Apple II History Chap 11
Apple's efforts to de-emphasize the Apple II went so far as to have their developer technical support staff specifically recommend that new applications not be created for the Apple II or II, but rather for the Macintosh.
Apple representatives met with the Bay Area Apple User Group to let them know of the decision to terminate production of the II During this meeting, the news was met with a quiet resignation, rather than the anger that had often greeted Apple's anti-Apple II decisions in the past.
Apple's previously stated intent was that the Ethernet card and GS/OS System 6.0.1 would be released at about the same time, since a major reason for this minor revision was to include the system code to support the card.

 FOXNews.com - Morgenstern: Apple's Faced Multibooting Before - Technology News | News On Technology
While Apple Computer and Microsoft remain mum on the prospect, one expected benefit of Apple's switch from PowerPC to X86 processors would be a machine that can boot in three flavors of operating systems: Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
Instead, Apple put its effort in the past year into getting Mac OS X to run on the Intel hardware and making sure its applications were also native — a strategy seen unfolding in Jobs' demonstration on Tuesday.
Apple continued its strategy of licensing the Mac OS until the summer of 1997, when Steve Jobs killed the remaining deals and kept the next-generation Power PC G3 upgrade cycle for the company.

Because the IIGS supports both the Apple II environment and also supports the Macintosh style of programming, the list of developers includes names well known to Macintosh users as well as to owners of the Apple IIs.

By early 1987, all new Macintoshes were using the Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) for attaching mice and keyboards.
The ADB is a simple, low-speed, bus-topology network with a single Macintosh acting as the bus master for up to 16 attached devices.
In mid-1987, Apple was considering new kinds of ADB devices that would utilize some of the advanced features of the ADB specification and needed to know how the various Macintosh models would behave with a large complement of more sophisticated ADB devices attached.
