Neat looking keyboard of Xsphat's - not the hhkbpro2..
xsphat:
Those keyboards are 20 years old, so they don't have F keys or any other nice things like we have today. The power button works though. I just use the Apple E command to eject CDs.
The boards type great and I really like the retro look, but there are some trade offs when using kit from that long ago.
xsphat:
ashort, if you can live without the fluff keys, and the F row, buy it, but not for $50:

Good find! Thanks, I may have to try one out.
ashort:
Awesome. Just ordered two of them since I am anticipating another Mac in the house before too much longer. =-D
Total with shipping: $39.90
Time to go get an ADB adapter!
ashort:
Crap!
The ADB-USB Adapter from Griffin is $40 all by itself!
And...I need to call the keyboard people (Mac $ PC Station) and see if I can add an ADB cable or two to the order....missed that...argh.

Ok, emailed them asking them to add two 7' adb cables to the order. I'd rather not pay $20 in shipping twice for $30 of product.
And now...the search for an ADB/USB adapter that doesn't cost $40.
