eschaton posted:you can also put together an adapter from a microcontroller board like an Arduino and open source software, I don't remember its name offhand but there's a "universal USB keyboard adapter" project that does ADB, Mac Plus, Sun, NeXT, Symbolics, and more. i was looking at this. the problem is i don't have the time right now to gently caress around with a maker project. i like the keyboard and i'd use it if it were plug and play, but i'm not up for soldering and programming a microcontroller just for this. also that alt/option and os-specific key are clearly labeled, they key position is just swapped. that's no problem since the apple keyboards have always been like that.

adc was so they could make money selling Apple-specific monitors and jobs decreed that he hated too many cables so why not put power, video, and USB in the same cable adc was only in desktops BTW apple never shipped a lappy with ADC, those got a real dvi port, or mini-dvi if you were unlucky, they stopped doing ADC in 2006 so good job bitching about seven years ago

the only kinda neat thing about the LC was that you could get a full-on IIe card for it. LCIII finally got a 32-bit system bus but it was still a piece of poo poo. fun LC fact: despite being 3 years newer than the macintosh II, it was slower by a large margin thanks to that 16-bit bus.
