If I might chime in...
Short answer: I have not seen such an adapter.
Here is one: http://www.vpi.us/usb-sun.html
This connects ADB peripherals to USB equipped computers. The original post is about connecting USB peripherals to ADB Macs. There aren't any converters the other way. I doubt such a beast could even work. ADB has a data rate of 1,200 bps, USB is 12,000,000 or in other words USB moves 10,000 times as much data. The protocol overhead probably wouldn't even fit into 1,200bps much less any data.
