So, let me rephrase: Original box for the Ext. II, 6 days left.

I've contacted the seller.

Actually, I reckon the photo on the box also shows an Apple Design keyboard. But it states Apple Extended II. Weird.

Maybe the first Apple Design keyboards have been labeled AEII to make the transition to the new model less evident to buyers?

Wow! There can't be many keyboards in this world that are untouched by human hands dating from the early-1990s. What kind of connector does this keyboard have, and can it be used with a modern Mac?

It has an ADB connector. You need an ADB->USB adapter like the Griffin iMate to use it on a modern Mac/PC.

Oh, okay. Well at least there will be no need for any key re-mapping for a modern Mac; despite the change of connector, the shift, ctrl, option and command keys haven't changed in decades... :)
