The new G3 has an ADB jack in the back (in addition to the two USB jacks).
I bought a 350 MHz G3 this weekend and set it up today.  After getting quite
upset that the cost of having this very fast machine was that I was going to
have to live with the cute-but-not-very-functional keyboard and mouse, I
just discovered the extra ADB jack and I'm now back to my big gray keyboard
that doesn't put the arrow keys directly under the shift key (where I often
hit them and inadvertantly moved the cursor during typing).  Presumably, one
could hang the CellQuest key back there.  

So while I could give you a slew of reasons to use FlowJo instead of
CellQuest, the lack of hardware protection is not one of them  :)   This is
not the case on the iMac.  It only has the USB option for peripherals.
