For this system (stated family): HIDHopper basic keyboard and mouse operation was tested on a beige Power Macintosh G3. The source does not identify the exact desktop, minitower, or all-in-one enclosure used. HIDHopper Base, Base with USB Hub Hat, and Hub Hat-only selections could be added to the JCM cart on 2026-07-24. The assembled QuokkADB Rev. 2022g remained sold out, while its Raspberry Pi Pico Community Edition remained buildable. HIDHopper's Hub Hat requires external USB-C power, must be power-cycled between Macintosh starts, and can otherwise exceed the host's ADB power budget. | Assembled HIDHopper ADBHIDHopper hardware, firmware, and documentationAssembled adapterCommunity Edition hardware filesFirmwareUser documentation |
