USB

USB  is   a   new   serial   bus   design   that   is   capable   of   cascading
low-/medium-speed peripherals (less than 12Mbps) such as keyboard,
mouse,   joystick,   scanner,   printer   and   modem/ISDN.     With   USB,
complex   cable   connections   at   the   back   panel   of   your   PC   can   be
eliminated.

See Figure 1-1 for the location of the USB interface on the system
board.
