I'd like to use the keyboard from my old Quadra (now long since nicked) on my Mac Mini. So I need an adapter than can convert the serial-type plug on the keyboard to USB. I can find plenty of PS/2-USB adapters but the Mac seems to use a different plug. Anyone know of suitable adapters?

You need one of these:
Universal Serial Bus to Apple Desktop Bus adapters
As far as I know, Geethree only makes RS-422 serial ports, not ADB adapters.
Peace,
Drew

Oh wow. Thanks for reminding me - in one of the thousands* of unsorted boxes here I have a G4 Stealthport. That'll go nicely with my new DA

Ha! That's a great idea! Can you really set up an OS X box to allow telnet over serial ports?
Peace,
Drew
