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!
