Daisy Chain an Apple ADB board off of a Northgate?
« on: Sat, 22 May 2010, 19:56:50 »
I have a Northgate that has 2 ADB ports and 1 PS2 port on the back of it.  Does anyone know if there is a way to daisy chain an ADB keyboard off of one of these ports, then connect the other to your system with PS2?  I tried it and it didn't work, but I thought maybe you could tweak it through dip switches or programming to allow this and save me from buying an iMate ADB to USB converter.

The opposite never worked, PS/2 on a Northgate Omnikey 102 on an ADB Macintosh, so I suspect your goal won't work either.
I trolled Geekhack and all I got was an eponymous SPOS.
