Title: Apple 590 0361 B 4 Pin Mini Din ADB Keyboard Cable to USB?
Post by: Kuro on Thu, 08 December 2011, 20:51:51

I have an old Apple M0116 Alps Keyboad that I'd like to use in conjuction with a Apple Desktop Bus mouse Family No. G5431 E89826T LR66731 and a 2010 Macbook Pro.

1. Would this work?
2. I have a spare cable (Apple 590 0361 B 4 Pin Mini Din ADB Keyboard Cable) That I have cut off one end and I was wondering if anyone has resoldered a USB connector on.  But I'm unsure as to what the individual wires cross over to.

Why not solder on a couple of RCA jacks, so you can plug them into a stereo and have them speak aloud?

You'll need a converter, hasu has one for ADB -> USB conversion, it's here in the modifications forum.

Cheers DaemonRaccoon and kps I have no idea what your on about???

P.S. if this thread is in the wrong place can a mod move it.


Edit - found it:
Link to ADB > USB - Hasu (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:14290)

Thanks again.
