many moons ago, Ken stated/asked/opined:
I have several Macs from various generations. For reasons I won't
go into
here, I have one older one (circa 7300 series) which, of course,
has the
mini-DIN keyboard/mouse connectors. Everything else I have is USB now.
Is there an adapter out there somewhere that would let me connect the
earlier Mac into a USB kbd/mouse setup? I haven't been able to find
anything out there so far, though perhaps I am doing the search wrong.
serendipitously concerning which, I just stumbled on this via dealmac:

hmmm, I believe I'm now sufficiently intrigued to explore the
recesses of my cold dark attic in search of that orphan keyboard stash.
sidebar/related topic... I'm am very fond of my Matias Tactile Pro...
noisy?, yes.. but it is indeed very tactile, has good feedback for
my fat fingers, and appears to be an indestructible keyboard as well
as a handy sandwich tray. Also it has 2 (count 'em) two USB 2.0 jacks
and sports all the pertinent extra keys (fully funtional under Tiger)
including the power switch! I was having difficulty getting a
Standard US keyboard from Apple over here in Austria so this puppy
has been a plug and play joy for me and worth every penny, ymmv of
course.
