converting keyboard for mac plus i have an old mac plus a couple of years ago i bought a shiney new lc it came with apple s new keyboard with abd ports i replaced it with a mac pro plus extended keyboard which i thoroughly enjoy thank you very much well i have this extra keyboard which i would like to use on the plus but there s a little problem the plus uses an rj jack for keyboard input and the new keyboards don t i got an extra adb cable from my local apple dealer they re such nice people but they couldn t tell me the order of the wires there are four wires in the adb cables black white red tan i know one s a ground one gets the serial signal one supplies volts and i forgot what the fourth one does anyway if you hook them up wrong you ll fry a board and i really don t want to do that if any brave souls out there have done this before please e mail your experience directly to me i would greatly appreciate it especially since apple s original keyboard is not ergonomically correct btw i did take apart my new keyboard to see if i could find the correlation between the wires for the rj jack and the adb since it has both but no such luck the connections are soldered inside of little boxes oh well tis the blink of an eye tis the draught of a breath from the blossoms of health to the paleness of death from the gilded saloon to the briar in the shroud o why should the spirit of mortal be proud william knox shagberg vm cmp ilstu edu
