Hi all,

Just came across this thread -

I've been interested in using my Extended Keyboard II with my modern Mac for a while, and recently built an ADB to PS2 converter using an Atmel Microcontroller.

You need a PS2 to USB adapter to use it with a modern computer, but I've been using it for a while and it's been working well.

Here's a picture, it's a little thing, just the MCU, 2 resistors, and 2 cable connectors:

I made a PCB run of a few of these, and was planning to assemble some and sell them on eBay or elsewhere.

If anyone on here is interested, I would be happy to put some of them together and send them to you for cost+shipping. So far it's been working well for me but it would great to get feedback to see how it works for others.

If you would like to build one yourself, I can share the schematic and the MCU code with you to make your own. Total parts cost is under $10 I believe.

Just wanted to share this with you, thanks!
