Two universal serial bus (USB) ports. USB ports provide
connection for a growing list of peripheral components including
mouse, keyboard, joystick, monitor, tape and floppy drives. Up to
127 devices can be daisy-chained from each port. The USB port
also provides hot-swap capability and dynamic resource allocation
for all peripherals attached to it with data transfer rates of up to
