KeyStone AT<->ADB Keyboard & Serial Mouse Converter . . .

Skunkworks PS-2 <-> ADB Project

ADB is a little trickier . . . not to mention being a technology that was licensed by Apple to developers back in the day.

I found my rollup USB KBD with its dedicated PS/2 adapter. I tried it with a couple of wireless mice. No go, but then again, I haven't found a real PS/2 mouse to try with the adapter to confirm that it works with mice yet.

I was using an OmniView Mac Adapter, the KBD worked fine. Once I figured out that ALT worked as the Command Key as opposed to the Windows key when using my wired & wireless USB KBDs on the Quicksilver'02.

KeyStone was more elegant, you could choose from a pair of keys for Command, whichever you preferred. KeyStone has the old AT Connector and its KeyMapping in ROM. It works fine with a PS/2 adapter, but the mouse adaptation is definitely for the RS-232 variety.
