Hi all; I don't know what kind of connector this thing has. It looks like an ADB connector with 6 pins. The keyboard is about a week old. It got sreped on and messed up the connector. The cord only has 4 wires in it so I thought it could be rewired to ADB. I could add USB card I guess. I'm running a G3 MT and OS 8.6. Well so much for that idea. Thanks guys.
It's a PS2 connector...
There are only four different keyboard connectors in wide use today: ADB, PS2 (which has a similar connector to ADB, and is used on 80-90% of all PC's) the old big 5-pin keyboard connector (some PC's still use this one) and USB.
So if it's the size of a ADB, then it's a PS2 connector.
That usb card will work just fine, with the caveat that you will not be able to affect the startup with the keyboard in any way, since it's not recognized until the USB extensions are loaded, so: no booting from CD, no booting with extensions off, no zapping the PRAM, etc, etc.
