    Can you give specific examples? Yes, there are times when old hardware doesn't work, but IMHO it is often when you get new hardware that doesn't have the physical ports. (Then again, I'm using an ADB keyboard from ~1985 on my Mac Pro on SnowLeopard through an ADB<>USB adapter.)

    The major change I can think of is removal of AppleTalk, though I believe there are third party solutions for that (I could be wrong).
