I know all about USB to ADB adapters, but did anyone make an adapter that goes the other way around? In other words, I'd like to use a USB keyboard and mouse on an ADB Mac (a Nubus Mac, so a USB card is not an option).

I would think that if you can go one direction, it'd be trivial to go the other, but I haven't heard of anyone doing this...

Not gonna happen. Not without a miracle, anyway.

The closest you can get is that someone once made an adaptor that allows you to use a PS/2 mouse and keyboard on an ADB Mac...I remember reading about them back in 1997...called MacAdapt or something. Good luck finding one.

GeeThree makes a PS/2 mouse adaptor which I think is still being made.
