Your guess for the UMC of the Mac SE is probably correct. An article
I read (I think Macazine) said that the ADB bus was designed mainly to
REDUCE the cost of the peripheral devices. You see, ADB allows much
cheaper cabling and smart peripherals allows much fewer peripheral
components == cheaper.
The article said that ADB reduced the UMC for a mouse by $4, I
believe. The savings on the keyboard are probably the same or
greater.
