Hi all,

I've just rejoined the list after a several month hiatus - nice to see
things ticking along as per usual :-)

Kudos to Paul on the 'Einstein' work by the way - truly inspirational!

Just a quick off-topic question -

I have a 'thing' for old keyboards with a nice positive 'click' (must
be a habit from my old typewriter days).

Does anyone know if its possible to get an old IBM type-M keyboard to
work with a Mac ? Is it simply a matter of using a mini-din/ps2 -> USB
adaptor ?

Also is it possible to use an old original Mac or MacPlus (with the
custom connector thats almost an rj-11 but not quite) on a modern Mac
via a USB adaptor (possible to ADB then USB) ?

Thanks in advance,

Raj 'I hate squishy keyboards' Patel.
