Hi,
I recommend use of the Griffin iMate ADB to USB adaptor. For several years I use some of these to connect the beloved ADB Keyboard II (extended as well) to any new computer. The adaptor works well with OS X and Windows, even in combination with a KVM switch I use in the office to share the peripheral equipment between a mac mini and a PC.
The most important benefit for me is the tactile feedback of the capitals lock key, an extremely rare feature in recent keyboards. Btw.: some Macally MK96 ADB keyboards can be found cheap on ebay. Form factor of the small Keyboard II plus a set of function keys.
There are two bad points about the iMate:
1. some kind of dysfunction for one or two keys I do not need too often (no characters). On my layout this are "°", "^", "<" and ">". Griffin tech support says this behaviour comes from a lack of recent ADB drivers inside OS X. PopChar helps.
2. the start button seems not to work for any machine.
Kind regards, register
