I absolutely agree with Philip, the iMate USB-to-ADB adapter is the bestest, most terrific solution for those yearning for their good old ADB devices, such as the Apple keyboards. I recently graduated from a Platinum G3 to a Quicksilver and the very first additional thing I bought was an iMate. I have an Extended II keyboard plus an ADB TurboMouse that I refuse to surrender. Plugged the iMate into the QS, the ADB devices chain into the iMate and fired 'er right up with zero problems.
