Does the GS keyboard have an ADB adaptor so it could be used as a keyboard for MAC? If so, is it possible to order the GS keyboard from a mail order company and such? -- H.Seung hseung@eniac.seas.upenn.edu 3820 Locust Walk #876 University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104

Actually, it's the other way around. The GS was the first machine to
use ADB, so naturally its keyboard and mouse are ADB devices. Then
the Mac people started using ADB on their machines, and it is
currently used by all Macs above the Mac Plus, which still uses the
old telephone handset connector.

As I recall, both the GS and Mac keyboards use the ADB port, so you wouldn't need any sort of "adaptor". In fact, I'm using the Apple Extended II on my GS right now. | ProLine.: llee@gnh-starport | This isn't a "blood for oil" deal. | | UUCP....: crash!gnh-starport!llee | This is "blood to keep some damn | | InterNet: llee@gnh-starport.cts.com | madman from doing things that | | AO .....: Please hold... | aren't hip in the world anymore." | | | And there hasn't been much blood. |

I want to use it on my GS, and was wondering if there was any way to get the use of all the extra keys? Are my arrows going to work? Is the keypad goinf to be the same? Is there anyway to tell the GS that I have a better keyboard??
